A farmer has brought High Court proceedings against several parties including KBC Bank over an attempt to evict him, along with his two siblings, from their Co Roscommon home last December.
The eviction gained national media attention after private security operatives were forced from the property by a group of masked men. The eviction was conducted on foot of possession orders allegedly obtained against Anthony McGann, David McGann’s brother. As well as suing KBC Bank, David McGann’s action is against the firms Trinity Asset Managerial Services Ltd, GS Agencies Ltd and Local Authority Services Ltd, and Aidan Devlin, with an address in Summerhill Co Meath, who the plaintiff alleges are agents of the bank. The action is also against the County Registrar of Roscommon.
He seeks a declaration that the three firms, which are allegedly involved in the security business and Mr Devlin acted without lawful authority and in breach of the 1926 Enforcement of Court Orders Act in attempting to access and gain entry to the property on foot of execution orders for possession dated August 8th and September 4th last.
