Hotel Wins Water Injunctions Against Council
The tenants of a hotel in Co Wexford have secured a High Court injunction preventing Wexford County Council from turning off their water supply over a disputed debt of €140,000.
Rusticford Ltd, which took over the tenancy of Millrace Hotel, Bunclody earlier this month, said the council had claimed it was owed more than €140,000 in charges from the hotel.
Rusticford denies liability for that debt, contending that the previous tenant of the hotel, the Charlton Hotel Group, owes it.
Yesterday evening, Mr Justice Roderick Murphy said, from the evidence before him, he was satisfied to grant a temporary injunction, returnable to later this week, restraining the council from cutting off the water.
