Filmmaker wins €46000 after his Irish island home is turned into ...
DUBLIN — A Northern Ireland filmmaker has won €46,000 ($69,000) in damages after a judge ruled that his Irish island home was transformed into a parking lot while he was overseas for six years.
The case of 61-year-old Neville Presho captured national attention because of the apparent callousness of his treatment at the hands of the insular 170-strong community of remote Tory Island. Police investigating the vanished house found only a wall of silence.
Presho successfully sued developer and hotelier Patrick Doohan after he returned from New Zealand to find no trace of his six-bedroom property beside the island’s harbor. In its place stood a septic tank and parking lot for Doohan’s newly built 12-room hotel, which remains the only one today on Tory.
Presho said Tuesday that his mid-19th century stone-built home had become “a car park surrounded by boulders to prevent inebriated drivers from driving into the harbor.”
High Court Justice Roderick Murphy ruled that he couldn’t determine who set fire to Presho’s property in 1993 or knocked down its stone walls in the following months while Presho, his wife and two children were living 11,600 miles (18,700 kilometers) away.
Presho said he resettled in New Zealand in 1988 but returned after getting a 1994 letter from Donegal County Council — the nearest local authority for a northwest island that famously bills itself as a self-governing kingdom — warning that his Tory property had suffered mysterious damage.
Presho recalled how, as the passenger ferry arrived from the Irish mainland, he searched in panic but couldn’t see his home at all.
He soon learned that a neighbor with whom he had entrusted a key had permitted Doohan’s construction workers to live in his home while the neighboring hotel was being built.
While gathering testimony from March to July, Murphy determined that the workers left behind flammable materials in the property and the blaze was deliberate, but he couldn’t reach a conclusion as to who ignited it. Nor could he be certain who knocked down the shell that remained, although he noted that Doohan owned the only heavy construction equipment on the island.
