Dispute over running of Bellinter House Hotel resolved
Summary
In a dispute over the operation of Bellinter House Hotel in Co Meath, DCM Hotels Ltd sued the hotel's owners, Jay Bourke and John Reynolds, claiming a five‑year lease. The owners denied ever granting such a lease, asserting only a month‑to‑month agreement existed. On the fourth day of the hearing, Mr Justice Paul Gilligan announced the parties had reached a settlement. Under the agreement, DCM will relinquish vacant possession of the hotel by 8 January 2016. From that date, any new owner will assume responsibility for all bookings and staff; if no new owner emerges, the partnership will take on those duties. DCM will cease taking new bookings. The settlement was accepted by counsel for both sides, concluding the court action. The case was heard in 2015.
