Landlord of Cork 'Covid party houses' contests court order

The orders were granted by Judge Olann Kelleher last July arising out of two private prosecutions taken by two long-term residents who live close to the two rented properties and who are alleging noise pollution.

A landlord ordered by the court to take measures to reduce noise levels at two of his rented properties near University College Cork, described in court as Covid party houses, has mounted a High Court challenge against the orders.
Fachtna O’Reilly, of Model Farm Rd, Cork, is facing fines of €1,000 and/or up-to 12 months in jail for breaches of the order.
