The High Court has summarily dismissed an application for an injunction by the ODonnell family to halt the repossession of their home in Killiney.

The receiver involved in the repossession proceedings is also threatening to seek a trespass order against Brian ODonnell and his wife Mary Patricia.

Trespassing orders will be served via email and will be affixed to the gates of Gorse Hill, on Vico Rd the court was told.

The application for a trespass order will be heard on Thursday.

News of the court decision was greeted with solemnity by members of the Land League who have been blockading the ODonnell home in Killiney for the last two days.

Mr Martin said he had phoned his colleagues inside the gate, and went into the property to consult on the ODonnell familys wishes, following the unsuccessful application.

Mr Martin has previously said Mr ODonnell would be available to the media after the High Court action.
