The four adult children of solicitor Brian O’Donnell are expected to ask the Supreme Court next week for a stay on an order requiring them to leave their luxury family home in Co Dublin before the end of this month.

The O'Donnells are also resisting a Bank of Ireland claim for damages against them based on lost rental income due to the delay in securing possession of the property at Gorse Hill, Vico Road, Killiney. Rossa Fanning, for Tom Kavanagh, the receiver appointed by the bank, told Mr Justice Brian McGovern yesterday he was seeking €12,500 in damages.

The judge has fixed the damages issue for hearing on November 5th.

The damages claim arises after the judge on July 31st rejected the challenge by Alexandra, Blake, Blaise and Bruce O’Donnell aimed at preventing the receiver gaining possession of Gorse Hill.

The bank sought possession as part of its efforts to enforce a €71 million judgment obtained against Mr O’Donnell and his wife, Dr Mary Patricia O’Donnell, in December 2011.

The children are required to vacate the property by October 21st, but have appealed the ruling to the Supreme Court. They are expected to apply next week for a stay, pending that appeal, on the order for them to leave the property.
