File and unrelated photo

A baseball bat was left lying on a bed covered with court papers in a repossessed house whose owner was facing possible imprisonment for contempt of court, a judge was told today.

Last week, the High Court ordered that Patrick Ryan be brought before the court to answer alleged contempt over his alleged reoccupation of a house at Glendale Meadows, Leixlip, Co Kildare.
