He told the court they allegedly ejected the tenants by force and in the process allegedly assaulted a male and a female and attempted to steal a mobile phone from the male tenant.

The outline of the alleged incident was given so that Judge Olann Kelleher could decide if he would accept jurisdiction in the case; Judge Kelleher opted to accept jurisdiction.

John Devlin, defending barrister, requested that any CCTV that might exist be sent to the office of solicitor Joseph Cuddigan; he also asked for a copy of statements.
