Lynam's Hotel dispute resolved
Summary
In a High Court case involving Lynam's Hotel on Upper O'Connell Street, Theresa Andreucetti, who had operated the hotel under a lease since 2008, and Mr Aiden Murphy, the receiver appointed by NAMA over the landlords' assets, reached a settlement. Andreucetti had secured a temporary injunction in April 2016 to retain possession after the receiver's agents entered the hotel, claiming she owed €528,000 in rent arrears. She denied the arrears and counterclaimed for costs of roof repairs and damages from water‑damaged rooms, which the receiver rejected. The injunction was lifted when an agreement was reached that Andreucetti would vacate the premises by August 2016. The dispute resurfaced when Mr Justice Paul Gilligan vacated a lis pendens notice that Andreucetti had registered, which the receiver said was blocking the hotel's sale. After the notice was removed, the judge directed the parties to schedule a hearing.
