The High Court in Dublin
The owner of an 18th Century property in Kildare housing almost 100 female asylum seekers has secured a High Court order preventing protesters from harassing or intimidating the residents, staff or contractors at the property after plans for a new water connection had to be stopped over safety concerns.
At the High Court today, Mr Justice Brian Cregan was told that earlier this month a new water connection was due to be installed at Ryevale House in Leixlip, Co Kildare, but a foreman was told by a protester at the location that works would not commence “unless the contractor was prepared to hit him with the bucket of his digger”.
