Liquidator with ‘flawed’ view of role removed

A liquidator to a Co Kildare hotel has been removed over what a judge said was his “flawed understanding” of his role.

Anthony J Fitzpatrick was appointed liquidator of Ballyrider Ltd, owners of the Hazel Hotel in Monasterevin in November 2010.

The company’s main creditor, AIB, was owed €237,000. The Revenue Commissioners were also a preferential creditor.
