Property owner complies with court order after spending night in jail

AFTER spending a night in Mountjoy Prison a property owner who had refused to give the High Court an undertaking about obeying its orders changed his mind yesterday.

Seamus Killoran had been jailed for a month on Tuesday after Mr Justice Gerard Hogan found him to be in “flagrant breach” of a court order directing him not to interfere with work being carried out by a bank-appointed receiver.

The judge had directed he be detained in Mountjoy and brought back to court yesterday to give him a final opportunity of providing the undertaking to court.
