Court clears way for Nama receiver to sell squatter home

The High Court has cleared the way for a Nama-appointed receiver to sell a Dublin 4 property occupied in recent weeks by squatters.

Mr Justice Paul Gilligan granted receiver David Carson, of Deloitte Ireland, various injunctions compelling those occupying a premises at 7 Barrow St to vacate.

Ronan Hackett, Benjamin Smith, and Joseph Williams, told the court through spokesman James Sutherland they were residing in the house. They opposed the receiver’s application, arguing they would be homeless if compelled to leave.
