Lynams Hotel operator secures injunction restoring her to possession
Summary
In a High Court hearing on 8 April 2016, Theresa Andreucetti, the operator of Lynams Hotel at 63/64 Upper O'Connell Street, secured a temporary injunction restoring her to possession of the premises. Andreucetti had run the hotel since 2008, employing 21 staff and paying €240,000 in rent annually. The hotel had been taken over by agents of receiver Aiden Murphy after the landlords claimed Andreucetti owed more than €528,000 in arrears. Andreucetti denied any arrears and argued the agents were not entitled to take possession. She also brought a counterclaim for hundreds of thousands of euros for roof repairs and damages caused by water damage, claiming the landlords should bear those costs. The injunction, granted ex‑parte by Justice Paul Gilligan, required the agents to return possession to Andreucetti and was made returnable to the next Wednesday. The case remains pending.
