Caravans at Kildare business park removed following High Court injunction
Concrete barriers have now blocked the entrance to the area
AN ENCAMPMENT of Traveller caravans that arrived at a business park in Naas last week have since been removed from the area, following an intervention by the High Court.
The caravans arrived at the car park beside Chestnut House offices at Millennium Park, Naas, at approximately 9pm on Thursday, November 5.
As reported by The Irish Times, the High Court granted an injunction to Ravelin Ireland Ltd, the owners of the Millennium Park complex, restraining trespass by “persons unknown” and ordering those involved to vacate the premises by 1pm on Wednesday, November 11.
The application was brought before Judge Brian Cregan by counsel for Ravelin Ireland Ltd.
The court also ordered that all caravans, property and belongings be removed from the site and prohibited further trespass or interference with the owners' possession of the property.
The court heard that initial contact had been made with individuals at the site who indicated they intended to remain until Wednesday. However, concerns were raised following the arrival of additional people at or around the location.
Judge Cregan granted the injunction, while also allowing those affected an opportunity to challenge the order.
The encampment has since been removed from Millennium Park, with a small amount of general waste left behind.
Concrete barriers have since been put in place in the area, which completely block the entrance to site.
