Meanwhile, at the Court of Appeal…

During proceedings today Mr [Brian] O’Donnell highlighted the media coverage of the case.
He said the eviction notice at Gorse Hill was “hammered into the front gate in front of the worlds media”.
He added that there were 64 reporters and 3 satellite trucks outside Gorse Hill when the court served the eviction notice.
Ms Justice Finlay Geoghegan earlier told the court that Mr O’Donnell’s wife Mary Patricia must come to court to express her agreement in going ahead with the appeal…

this afternoon.

The Court of Appeal has granted Brian O’Donnell a stay on the trespass injunction imposed yesterday (by Justice Brian McGovern) on Gorse Hill, Killiney, Co Dublin.

Mr O’Donnell’s appeal will be heard next Thursday at 2pm.

Mr O’Donnell told the court today that he has 22 grounds of appeal. He said the judge [McGovern] in his ruling yesterday erred in both law and fact. He said these proceedings had been “railroaded” through the courts in a deliberate attempt not to give him adequate time to respond to the claims.

He said the shortness of the stay granted yesterday [24 hours] was intended to prevent him from appealing. Mr O’Donnell said the decision was “grossly unfair and unjust”.
