It's trespass if they didn't have your permission. Perhaps the neighbour didn't know they would install it like that, but whoever erected it should have ensured you were OK with it before entering your property. That said, taking a heavy handed approach will only sour relations with the neighbour.
Perhaps have a chat with the neighbour and discuss your concerns? Ensure the contractor has liability insurance that will cover any damage to your property and protect you from any claims if anyone working within your property is injured.
It sounds like you already don't have a good relationship with the neighbour. Tell the builder he has 6 hours to remove the scaffolding from your property, and that any access will be dependent on a proper request in writing. Also insist on being shown that proper insurance is in place, and that you are indemnified in the case of any accidents on your property.
I would suggest you contact the council to check whether the building as going ahead is in compliance. It probably wouldnt hurt to get in touch with your local garda station to let them know what's happening, and that you are concerned the builder might try to come onto your property without permission. You can also ask their advice at the same time.
