A bank-appointed receiver over three Dublin properties described as being “firetraps” has rejected claims by Dublin City Council that he is in contempt of court orders to have the buildings vacated. The council this week commenced proceedings seeking to have Stephen Tennant of Grant Thornton come before the court to explain the alleged failure to comply with court orders to have the buildings vacated. Mr Tennant was appointed receiver by AIB and AIB Mortgage Bank in October 2016 over properties located at 100, 101 and 104 Seville Place in Dublin 1. It claims the receiver, as the person in charge of the properties, is in contempt of the order requiring the buildings to be vacated. The court had sought orders against the owners of the properties, Vincent and Catherine Donoghue, as well as the receiver and the then occupants.
