Glen Oglesby, who claims he has nowhere else to go, has been living in caravan on ESB-owned substation site in Dublin’s north inner city

The ESB says the substation site at Gloucester Place Upper in Dublin’s north inner city is unsafe for human habitation. Photograph: PA WireGarda “manning issues” mean an order for the arrest of a man allegedly trespassing at an electricity substation cannot be executed until next week, the High Court heard.

The ESB says it is unsafe for human habitation and sought the arrest order over Mr Oglesby’s continuing failure to obey an earlier order that he remove the caravan. Garda Supt Cormac Brennan, of Store Street station, was in court to explain the position if the judge wanted to hear from him, Mr Punch said. However, the judge said he did not see the point because the Garda Commissioner was saying it is an operational matter.

Mr Punch said Mr Oglesby, who has not appeared in court since he did so first on May 3rd, had been given “a huge amount of leeway” and every opportunity provided to him to remove his caravan. The “ball now was firmly in the Garda Commissioner’s court”, he said.
