Orders sought to remove alleged trespassers from disused historical building

Court told several persons in caravans have been illegally occupying Knocklofty House, a listed building located outside Clonmel, and have refused to leave

The receiver says he has not been able to persuade the alleged trespassers to leave Knocklofty House in Tipperary.

The High Court has been asked for orders directing unknown persons in four caravans to vacate and cease occupying the well-known historical Co Tipperary property Knocklofty House.

Mr Justice Brian O'Moore was informed on Tuesday that several persons in the caravans have been illegally occupying Knocklofty House, a protected or listed building located outside Clonmel, have no permission to be there, are causing an ongoing nuisance, and have refused to leave.
