Man and niece must leave apartment immediately, court rules

The fund DavyPlatform ICAV owns the apartment, the judge said, and Gerard O'Sullivan and Fiona O'Brien "must vacate it immediately".

It was "beyond the power of the court" to permit the respondents to continue to remain in the property, the judge said. File image

The former owner of an apartment who allegedly threatened to set his dog on any representative of the new owners who tried to gain entry must immediately vacate the property, the High Court has ruled.

Ms Justice Mary Rose Gearty said DavyPlatform ICAV, an asset management umbrella fund established to provide social housing to local authorities, was entitled to an injunction against Gerard O'Sullivan, who is former owner of the apartment located at Rosebank Place, Clondalkin, Dublin 22.
