A man barricaded himself into his home with barbed wire after it was repossessed by a building society, a court has been told.

Barrister Don Seligman, for Irish Life Permanent, told the Circuit Civil Court yesterday that James Heraghty had finally vacated the house at Darcystown, Man O’ War, Balbriggan, Dublin.

On the basis that Mr Heraghty had continued to honour his undertaking of not trespassing on the property, the application was struck out.
