Occupiers leave Cork building after court action

A group of protesters occupying a building in the centre of Cork City has been ordered to leave the property on foot of a court injunction secured by the owners.

Two men named as defendants in the action did not have to be injuncted as they gave undertakings to stay out of the six-storey glass-fronted building at 10, 11 and 12 Oliver Plunkett St and 2 Smith St, Cork.

A third defendant, Liam Mullaney, argued that there was a sufficient basis on which the injunction application by Padlake Ltd. should be adjourned to a full hearing of the case at Cork Circuit Court.
