Former billionaire Sean Quinn has pledged to Superior Court not to go to company-operated land that was once owned by him.
The guarantee was given as part of a legal action brought by the renowned Mannok.
The firm, formerly known as Quinn Industrial Holdings (QIH), is seeking an injunction to prevent any alleged break-ins at Doon Quarry in Co Fermanagh.
The proceedings issued by Mannok Aggregates Ltd were launched before Ms Justice McBride at the Royal Courts of Justice in Belfast.
But an attorney for Mr. Quinn confirmed his client’s consent to “a brief engagement” that may run through early February.
“The compromise is basically not going to (land),” he said.
Although no further details were released about the alleged circumstances, permission was requested to visit the area with Mr. Quinn to verify the routes that were taken.
Tensions
“This is a long street that crosses Doon Mountain, and I am not very clear where exactly the trespassing occurred,” added his attorney.
The judge warned that nothing should be done to increase tensions.
Enlisting the request for a precautionary measure for a full hearing on January 28, he emphasized: “There seems to be a lot of animosity between the parties, I don’t want anything to happen on the site that inflames the situation,” he said.
Once the richest man in Ireland, Quinn lost control of his business empire after being declared bankrupt in 2012.
His former partners took over the leadership of QIH, but the top management has come under threat.
In September 2019, an executive, Kevin Lunney, was kidnapped in Co Fermanagh and tortured before being dumped on the side of a road across the border in Co Cavan.
Quinn has always distanced himself from those behind the campaign and has condemned any intimidation of the new owners.
In September this year, QIH was renamed Mannok.
