Trespass to land by a family member

justoutofcuriosity_

Hi all,

As above…should the Gardai have any powers whereby a direct family member consistently trespasses on the land of a parent (not main family home) and tries to maintain the property and causes annoyance?

TIA

You, or whoever you're referring to, should probably just stop acting the maggot.

I’m afraid it’s not that simple

Are you the parent in the situation?

How is this person causing annoyance? Have they being told by the parent not to enter the property?

This has nothing to do with DRP. Moved to a forum that's actually related to the topic instead.

You'll probably find "It's a civil matter". Do you have any grounds to apply to court for an injunction to exclude them from access to the property or carrying out any work at the property?

As it is your parent's property, do they have grounds for an injunction and is it something they would consider doing?

Is that person causing annoyance to the parent or to the OP or other siblings? What is the nature of the annoyance? Have they been asked to desist? How much more is there to this story? Is the parent incapacitated and the person is trying to be helpful but the OP feels they are trying to establish a claim on the property (whether or not this is the case).

More details needed please.

Impossible to answer in the absence of more information.

Generally, I am lead to wonder if the alleged trespasser is engaging in a course of conduct with a view to establishing some sort of right by usage. If that is what is at play positive steps need to be taken by the owner to stop the conduct or acquiescence may be inferred.

You are entitled to call the guards and say you have atrespasser on your property who refuses to leave. There is an offence of trespass with intent to commit an offence. If they are doing something unwanted to the property they are committing criminal damage.

It may also be possible to get a safety order from the District Court if there is a threat of violence to the parent.

This is so if "you" are the parent, or somebody acting on the parent's authority. If you're not the property-owner, or acting with the authority of the property-owner, this is basically none of your business.
