Occupants given 21 days to leave ‘Squat City’

A group of people who unlawfully reoccupied the site of a planned student accommodation project in Dublin have been given 21 days to leave by the High Court.

A number of people set up what has been called Squat City in lands and buildings at Lower Grangegorman and Brunswick St, where planning permission was granted for 126 student accommodation units, the court heard.

Last year, the property was the subject of proceedings against a group who left after one was jailed for contempt of the order to vacate.
