Three members of the public seek to restrain former warehouse from being redeveloped to house mostly Ukrainians
An application has made to the High Court for an injunction preventing a site in Coolock being used to house persons seeking international protection.
Representing themselves, they claim that the decision to allow the site to be converted into housing for refugees is unlawful and should be halted on grounds including that there was, in breach of planning laws, a failure by the authorities to enter into a process of public consultation regarding the proposed development.
The judge said that he had some knowledge of the situation having made orders in July restraining persons unknown from attending at or engaging in violent behaviour at the site. However, the judge said that they had raised some issues in their application that did merit a response from the respondents.
