Hairdresser seeks order allowing her back into premises
Summary
Ms Sinead Connolly, operator of Sin E Hair and Beauty Salon in Greystones, has applied to the High Court for a temporary order allowing her to return to her premises after her landlord, Mr Peter McLaughlin, allegedly changed the locks. Connolly claims the salon has been closed since lockdown and that she and her four staff cannot access the premises. She argues the salon is compliant with Covid‑19 regulations and that she has been paying a market rent of €20,000, while the landlord claims arrears of €77,000 based on a former "Celtic Tiger" rent of €36,800. Connolly, who has entered a Personal Insolvency Arrangement, seeks an injunction for about six weeks and the return of her equipment. The judge declined to grant an injunction but allowed Connolly to serve short notice on the landlord's lawyers, with the case adjourned to early next week.
