Dublin City Council brings action against receiver as alleged 'firetrap' properties still occupied

Last October at the High Court Mr Justice Seamus Noonan granted DCC injunctions requiring the residents of the properties, which are each divided into several flats or bedsits, to immediately vacate the buildings.

Dublin City Council has brought proceedings against a receiver over an alleged failure to comply with court orders to vacate three properties described as "firetraps".

DCC's proceedings are against Mr Stephen Tennant of Grant Thornton who was appointed as receiver over properties located at 100, 101 and 104 Seville Place, Dublin 1 by AIB Mortgage Banks and AIB in October 2016.
