The Duddy Hospitality Group lost its High Court bid to block the sale of the IBIS Red Cow Hotel in Clondalkin, Dublin; the ruling was reported on 9 April 2024.

Mr Justice Rory Mulcahy refused the injunctions, saying damages would be an adequate remedy if the plaintiffs succeeded in the full action.

The dispute concerns an alleged breach of agreements to divide jointly held assets. The Duddy group says it was to receive ownership and control of the hotel; the Propiteer group denies breaching the agreement, and the action remains opposed.
