The Salvation Army Ireland yesterday secured a High Court injunction requiring persons to vacate Lefroy House after members of a group calling itself the Revolutionary Workers Union entered the property earlier this month and then refused to leave.
Via Irish Times:
The building, on which the Salvation Army holds a long lease, had been operated as emergency accommodation for minors in crisis for many years until its closure early last year when funding ceased. The charity had been renovating the property to accommodate refugees fleeing the war in Ukraine and had hoped to open its doors to a first group next month.
Plans were put on hold after the building was allegedly broken into and occupied on May 1st last The court heard that in social media posts the group, which has renamed the property James Connolly House, claims it intends to use the building to accommodate homeless people.
