Summary

The Dublin printing firm Reads, operated by O'Flaherty's (Nassau St) Limited, has filed a High Court action against Setanta Centre Unlimited Company, the owner of the Setanta Centre on Nassau Street, over access to its premises. Reads claims that the defendant, controlled by the Goodman family, has blocked the entrance to Nassau Street during redevelopment works, despite a prior agreement to provide a temporary access route. The plaintiff alleges that the obstruction, which it says will render its premises inaccessible, breaches its right of way and threatens its business and employment. Reads seeks an injunction to remove the obstruction. The defendant, represented by Rossa Fanning SC, denies wrongdoing, stating it has complied with health and safety advice and has informed the plaintiff of its redevelopment plans.
