‘Scenes of anarchy’ in Limerick court

Anarchy is how the president of the Limerick Solicitors Bar Association described scenes at a Limerick court when protesters took over the courtroom.

Dan O’Gorman said what had occurred last Friday “tugged at the fabric of society”.

More than 150 people had to be removed by gardaí after they distupted a hearing by the Limerick County Registrar relating to home repossession orders sought by banks and other lending institutions. The hearing had to be abandoned.
