Console founder Paul Kelly, his wife Patricia and his sister Joan McKenna will be given an opportunity today to respond to injunctions made against them.
In their absence last week, the High Court made a number of orders preventing them from interfering with the suicide charity and its finances.
Console’s interim CEO David Hall watched on yesterday afternoon as Gardai broke a heavy lock on a blue storage unit at a business park in Naas.
He’d been given permission to enter by a High Court judge after a concerned member of the public told him he saw Paul Kelly and his wife Patricia make two deliveries there last week.
A large volume of documents were loaded into a van by Mr. Hall’s team and they’ll be examined as part of his inquiries into the management of the suicide charity.
Last week, the same judge – Mr. Justice Paul Gilligan – approved an ex parte application for a number of injunctions against the Kellys and Paul Kelly’s sister Joan McKenna.
They were ordered not to interfere with the running of the organisation and prevented from accessing its bank accounts and credit cards.
They were also told not to destroy or remove any of its records.
They were given a number of days to draft replies to those orders and Mr. Justice Gilligan will hear what they have to say later this morning.
