Gardaí discover shotgun at site of trust leader arrest

Gardaí found a shotgun at the property where repossession action group leader Charlie Allen was arrested last Monday.

Mr Allen, who was released on Tuesday by a court over alleged contempt, turned up hours later at the premises in Cork, where another protest against repossession had been organised, a judge was told yesterday.

Mr Allen, of the Rodolphus Allen Private Family Trust organisation, had told security men employed to protect the premises at Tivoli in Cork City they “better be out of here by tomorrow”, the High Court heard when it granted orders preventing him and others from interfering with a receiver over the property.
