Receivers seek to take back Apollo

Receivers appointed over Apollo House in Dublin City centre have launched a High Court action aimed at regaining possession of the property.

Last weekend, the building on Tara St and Townsend St was taken over by activists and offered as accommodation to the homeless.

As a result, insolvency practioners Tom O’Brien and Simon Coyle, who were appointed joint receivers over the building by a Nama- related company, NALM, in 2014, have launched proceedings seeking to end the occupation.
