Farmer Hugh Kelly (59) was one of 10 people who died in the explosion and a court row has erupted over his home and land
A nephew of a man killed in the tragic Creeslough explosion in Co Donegal has been ordered to leave the home of his late uncle.
However, Judge John Aylmer has now granted an interlocutory injunction to the late Mr Hugh Kelly's partner, Linda Kelly against Josie Kelly, whom she claimed was illegally occupying the property. Previously, Judge Aylmer heard Ms Gallagher attended the property on October 15th, 2022, just a week after her partner had been killed, and discovered Josie Kelly had "wrongfully or illegally entered the dwelling and changed the locks". A locksmith was called and a voice was heard inside the property, which Ms Gallagher recognised as Josie Kelly, but the locksmith could not gain entry.
Mr McGrory explained that Ms Gallagher, who was originally from Indiana in the US, had been in a relationship with the deceased. They both maintained separate houses, but there were several pictures of Ms Gallagher in Mr Hugh Kelly's home. Mr Kelly claimed none of the plaintiff’s possessions are in the house and that he always had a key and access to the house. “The property is my home,” he added. Judge John Aylmer asked why Mr Kelly had not exhibited anything in support of his evidence.
