Court told that weekend ‘squat party’ is cancelled

A weekend-long “squat party” advertised on Facebook for a Dublin City centre property this weekend has been cancelled, the High Court has been told.

Earlier this week a bank-appointed receiver over 31 Mountjoy Square East, where the proposed party was due to take place, had asked the High Court for an injunction preventing the event from going ahead.

The receiver, Sean McNamara, also sought orders against several named individuals claiming to reside at the property, including one seeking vacant possession of the building.
