There is a laneway (width of a car) running along the rear of my house. The laneway is under the charge of Dublin City Council. The laneway is not gated (anybody can walk in or out). There are 4 terrace houses in a row who have rear access using this laneway. My solicitor told me that I actually own the square of the laneway behind my house and the houses to my left have a right of way over it. My insurance company said that my policy does not cover public liability on this laneway (makes sense given anybody can easily trespass on laneway). My solicitor said that it's the owner (rather than DCC) that would be liable if somebody had an accident and sued. I tried to get cover but various insurance companies refused.
Does anybody have relevant experience or advice on such matters? Thanks.
