Man barricaded himself into house, court hears

A HIGH Court judge has directed that a property owner, who was previously jailed for being in contempt of court, be brought before the court for allegedly barricading himself into a property he had undertook not to interfere with.

Last August, Seamus Killoran was released after 24 hours in Mountjoy prison by agreeing to comply with a High Court order not to interfere with the work being carried out by Fergus Lowe, who was appointed receiver to three of his properties including one he owned at Coolcarrigh, Coill Dubh, Naas, Co Kildare.

Yesterday at the High Court, Mr Justice Murphy directed that Mr Killoran be brought before the court after being told by Mr Rowe’s counsel that Mr Killoran had breached an undertaking previously given to the court by re-entering the property in Naas.
