Junior justice minister Kathleen Lynch is warning people that they can't save their homes from being repossessed by putting them into trusts.

A quasi-spiritual trust has moved to assert control over a lucrative portfolio of properties signed into its care, by telling receivers and auctioneers to vacate the lands or face hundreds of millions of euro in claims.

A public officer who was used by a controversial property trust to formally witness hundreds of property transactions has cut his ties with the group.

Placards citing ancient Brehon Laws were at the vangard of a sizeable protest by a mysterious trust that ousted receivers at a Kildare stud farm.
