Protesters, some wrapped in Irish flags, obstructed work at Macroom development they believe will be offered to Ukrainian refugees
Mr O’Donoghue previously told the court that gardaí had to be called to the scene.
“In the past there existed five houses which were not completed. It was referred to as a ghost estate. The plan is to complete those five houses and build two further houses – prefabricated concrete houses, constructed off-site and assembled on-site. At a sitting of Cork Circuit Court on Thursday, Mr O’Donoghue told Judge Horgan the injunction has been a success. All alleged unlawful activity has come to a halt. However, he said that the position was that the first named defendant was taking issue with the order made against her. He stated that the woman plans to file a replying affidavit and asked that the matter be put back for a week.
“I wasn’t present in the vicinity of Macroom. I wasn’t present when any of the obstruction happened,” she said.
