The High Court has ordered developer Tom McFeely off the site at Priory Hall in Donaghmede, Dublin.

The court made the order after being told by the Council that works to achieve compliance with the fire safety aspects were not progressing satisfactorily.

After evidence was heard the court found that Mr McFeely was in breach of the order directing him to carry out the works within five weeks and he was ordered off the site.

The Court ordered that a motion for attachment and committal would be returnable for next Friday.

In relation to accommodating the owner occupiers the Court made indefinite the time period on assistance and in the case of renters the Council has been ordered to pay the differential between the rent previously paid and the rent for new accommodation.

There was no order about who should carry out the works to remediate the complex.
