Student accommodation owners get temporary injunction banning pub operator from taking over part of yard

The owners of a student accommodation complex on Dublin's Upper Dorset Street have claimed before the High Court part of its yard has been unlawfully appropriated by the operator of an adjoining pub.

The court was told a group of men had, at 7.38am on Wednesday, used a ladder to come over a boundary wall with the pub, entered the yard of the Aparto accommodation complex and erected wooden hoarding around part of an open area, cutting off access to part of the open area which contains a bike shed.
