A High Court judge has given more than 20 people found in contempt of court for refusing to leave two Dublin buildings additional time to vacate the properties.

Mr Justice Mark Sanfey ruled earlier this month that the occupants of 31 Richmond Avenue, Fairview, and 21 Little Mary Street, Dublin 2, were in contempt of court orders directing them to vacate the properties.
