Experts to view disputed land

TWO horticulturalists are to examine a disputed piece of land adjoining broadcaster Pat Kenny’s home in Dalkey on December 14 next the High Court was told yesterday when a request was made to have the full hearing held in April next.

The land is known as Gorse Hill and the dispute is between Pat and Cathy Kenny and their next-door- neighbours Gerard Charlton, 72, and his wife Maeve.

The Charltons claim to be the legal owners of the rocky outcrop in question. The Kennys contest the Charltons’ title and claim any title they may have had has been extinguished by adverse possession (squatters’ rights).
