Bulk of row over development of €35m South Dublin office building to be referred to arbitration

Summary

An application will be made to refer the bulk of a dispute between DLR Properties Ltd and the Johnny Ronan group to out‑of‑court arbitration. DLR has sued RGRE Devco 4 Ltd and Ronan Group Real Estate Ltd for breach of a 2019 development agreement over a 1.3‑acre site in Cherrywood, Loughlinstown, where the parties agreed that RGRE 4 would build a €35m office building. DLR seeks declarations that the agreement was validly terminated, damages, and an injunction to remove statements from the Ronan Group website that imply the defendants hold any title or interest in the site. The defendants deny the claims, calling them "completely unnecessary" and "unrealistic." The defamation claim will remain before the High Court, while the majority of the issues will be referred to arbitration, with former Chief Justice Frank Clarke proposed as arbitrator.
