Activist happy to have his day in court
Liam Mullaney, who is among several activists who have been occupying a building in Cork city since Christmas Day, cut a lone figure in courtroom number two as legal representatives of the building’s developer, Padlake Ltd, sought an injunction requiring him and his group to leave.
Sporting a fresh short-back-and-sides haircut and dressed in a sombre grey suit, white shirt and thin black tie, he listened from the witness box as James Duggan, counsel for Padlake, outlined why his client was seeking the injunction against Mr Mullaney, Patrick Buckley, Mark John Redmond and others occupying Stapleton House on Oliver Plunkett St.
