The Vaults flooding dispute was settled in the High Court on 27 November 2017, after proceedings over the closure of the Dublin premises. The Vaults, beneath Connolly railway station, had operated as a bar, restaurant and venue before closing in March 2012 amid flooding concerns.

Declan Ryan and The Vaults Trading Ltd had sought damages from CIE, Iarnród Éireann and the Dublin Docklands Development Authority over alleged contractual breaches, negligence and flooding-related damage. The defendants denied the claims, and the settlement terms were confidential.
