A man has agreed before the High Court to vacate land next to Dublin Airport which is required to facilitate the construction of the new north runway. Mr Joyce claimed he and his family had been living at the property at Collinstown Park, Forrest Road, Swords, Co Dublin, for 16 years. At some time, the DAA says, certain people entered the land and extended the halting site onto land that was not licensed. In 2017, Fingal County Council wrote to members of the McAleer family, who were on the extended unlicensed land, requiring them to vacate the land. He sought a declaration he was entitled to adverse possession by virtue of continuous occupation of more than 12 years.
