Pygmalion dispute resolved
Summary
In a High Court case concerning the Pygmalion Public House, businessman Paul McGlade, who had acquired an interest in the Dublin nightspot last year, claimed he was excluded by his fellow shareholders, brothers Jay and Tim Bourke, from the premises. McGlade, together with Fellerim Ltd and Lintrath Holdings Ltd, sued the Bourke brothers and Pygmalion Public House Ltd, asserting that a 2013 agreement entitled him to run the business. He sought orders to restore his management role and injunctions to prevent the Bourkes from barring his entry or changing the locks. On the day the matter was heard, counsel for McGlade, Patricia Dillon SC, informed Justice Paul Gilligan that the dispute would not trouble the court and could be struck out. Counsel for the respondents, Patrick McCann SC, agreed that the matter could be struck out. No agreement details were disclosed in open court.
