An injunction had been granted by the High Court to the leaseholder and developer of the former Crown Paints warehouse in Coolock, Dublin, restraining “persons unknown” from attending the site to engage in violent or threatening behaviour.

The site has been the scene of unrest over plans to house international protection applicants in the former warehouse.
