    It has to be established as a fact in court. It is possible that the criminal trespass legislation could be tweaked. A certain ethnic minority have been doing the same thing for years on land, and there is never any condemnation about it.

    id suggest a lot more than batons for them, but these are all the wayward children of solicitors, doctors and other high earning south Dublin dwellers, you'd have daddies legal team at the door in two seconds if you mistreated this bunch of people that have never and will never experience homelessness outside of this 'knight in shining armour' middle class guilt appeasing masturbation project.

    The proper thing to do would be to have a force of garda surround the building backed up by an army riot squad (if we have any army left). A loud hailer should be used to warn all occupants of the building that they have 3 minutes to leave or they will be arrested. If no move after 5 minutes CS gas cannisters should be put into the building. Once a door opens the building should be stormed and all inside arrested without ceremony and conveyed to Cloverhill in readiness for an appearance before the High Court.

    No need to arrest all. Just arrest five and let the High Court give them a week in Cloverhill to purge their contempt. They would be very popular there, a bit like Richard Here and Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman

    Why should any of them get off? Should the rest be left in the house?

    They have finally been arrested (I must say I am glad, because these people started to think they could harass as they pleased in Central Dublin and they had started knocking a lot of doors of residential properties in Central Dublin to cause trouble, they are marxist to the core):

    Okay..... Great idea but the High court doesnt sentence. District,Circuit Central and specials.

    High court is a ruling court, passing direction bail hearings, Injunctions. NO SENTENCING

    I dont know where the ill informed get their ideas from.

    District court deals with contempt of court.

    Injunction was issued this means vacate. Its then to the Police to remove if not adhered to.

    What happened last night was wrong, bringing in outsiders . Police service upholds the law.

    What happened was not wrong, they were trespassers.
    Stepping back a second I don't understand why the judiciary even needs to be involved, just remove them using reasonable force like any trespasser.

    That's the ridiculous part. Anyone "occupying" my house/property would be assaulted for sure using "reasonable force" in accordance with the determination made after the frog ward case.


    Anyone who argues these people were not in the wrong is a spacer.

    That's a discussion of a Bill, which has not yet passed.

    You may wish to familiarise yourself with the law surrounding contempt and the latest LRC issue paper on the matter would be a useful primer. The High Court has inherent jurisdiction to order imprisonment for contempt. This has been settled law since the 1970s.

    If it is left in the hands of the Baliff they need to be identifiable.

    Keegan v. De Burca [1974] 1 IR 223. Near identical fact pattern to the current case and the order made by O'Keefe P in the High Court was:
    t is ordered that said defendant be committed for the said contempt into the custody of the governor of Mountjoy Prison there to be detained by him until she purge her said contempt and is discharged pursuant to further order of the High Court and that she be taken into custody forthwith by the members of the Garda Síochána present in Court...
    Do not pass go, do not visit the District Court, do not collect €200. Upheld by the Supreme Court and good law ever since.

    If you can direct me to a reported judgment where a Superior Court is seised of a matter, makes a finding of contempt and then cedes jurisdiction to a lower Court, I'm all ears.

    Minimum force was used to achieve the goal of recovering possession and avoiding creating the usual hard left martyrs. Look at the sold out media reports on the event, the journalists reporting are so one sided to be disgusting:

    They even closed the comment section for FS, because the journalists knew they would be insulted heavily for such shameful reporting. Please check the names and surnames of the journalists so that you learn who are the clowns in the Journal writing such garbage.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,280 ✭✭✭✭Eric Cartman


    Great to see enforcement on these trespassers. Too much property damage and risk for the owner to have to deal with. Gardai acted professionally and hopefully a lot more of these squatters will be removed forcefully.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,299 ✭✭✭Claw Hammer


    They are announcing what they are doing. There clearly committing the offence of criminal trespass under the Public Order Act. They should be arrested on the spot. Why does there have to be a High Court application at the owners expense? If I stole the knob off the front door and be liable to a sentence of up to 5 years in jail.

    I'm not so sure that they are committing trespass under the public order act, which requires an element of causing fear. Probably gives enough wiggle room for an unoccupied house.

    But there is the prohibition on the forcible entry and occupation of dwellings legislation:

    http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1971/act/25/enacted/en/html

    The problem is that the Gardai don't really want to get involved, and seem to have only been involved here because there was a high anticipation that they would be needed to keep the peace.

    Now you really hit the nail in the head. Garda tries to avoid doing its duty unless is forced by a court to do it. Garda will rarely act in crimes against property unless they involve bodily harm against a person. This is a very slippery slope and one of the reason landlords or property owners in general in Ireland have little state protection for their properties.
    However I want to thank the poster about the John Ward case and how to deal with these hard left thugs (this is exactly what they are) if they come knocking to my property door in central Dublin while I am there (they are currently knocking doors of lots of properties in Dublin 1 and planning further squats).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,280 ✭✭✭✭Eric Cartman


    they've gone and blocked traffic and put the north city to a standstill, hopefully the new Garda commissioner will start a 0 tolerance policy against these thugs.

    No. It does not appear an application was made for a warrant to arrest any of the occupiers. The garda would need a warrant to arrest. That would not amount to an eviction as they would have no role in securing the premises after removing occupiers by way of arrest.

    Fear is only a requirement under Section 19. There is another section which covers the situation.

    I'm curious to know if we have something similar to what the UK use as an excuse to evict people who occupy / break into places when it could be hard to do so for the act itself.

    The UK frequently classify them as criminal and will arrest the perpetrators if they steal anything - including power / light / heat. So they occupy a property, fine, it's a civil matter but if they turn on the lights, plug in appliances, charge devices etc. then suddenly it's a crime and they can be arrested.

    Given the Takebackthecity crowd have been asking for donations of light bulbs, kettles, microwaves, blenders, sandwich makers etc. they must be using the power in the properties they occupy.
