Man living in 100 tonne minesweeper wins court reprieve against its removal for scrap
A man living on a one hundred tonne former minesweeper vessel in a Dublin harbour has won his Supreme Court appeal aimed at preventing it being removed and scrapped.
The three judge Supreme Court stressed it was allowing Shane Kennedy's appeal only because Fingal County Council had failed to establish the necessary "technical proof" the "Portisham" vessel is located on the foreshore within the Council's functional area.
