Hotel manager settles case

Summary

In a High Court case, Declan Moriarty, general manager of the Kilkenny River Court Hotel, claimed he was summarily dismissed on 3 February 2024, alleging breach of the hotel's own procedures. He sought an injunction against Neville Hotels Ltd, trading as the River Court, and William Neville and Sons to prevent his dismissal. Mr Justice Paul Gilligan had previously granted Mr Moriarty permission to serve the proceedings at short notice. The case returned before the court on Wednesday, where Peter Ward SC, representing Mr Moriarty, announced that the entire proceedings had been settled and could be struck out without an order. No settlement details were disclosed. Earlier, the defendants had written that Mr Moriarty's dismissal was lawful, citing a review of his performance and a failure to meet required standards. They also noted that the hotel's takeover by Nevilles last year had increased the workload, which Mr Moriarty had carried out.
