Developer fails in High Court bid to regain possession of site off Dublin’s Parnell St

Developer Brian Cunningham has failed in a High Court bid to get back possession of a site off Dublin’s Parnell St from a company which was sold the property after his firm went into receivership.

Ms Justice Deirdre Murphy, describing Mr Cunningham’s application as “entirely unmeritorious”, said no evidence had been provided to back up his claim that the receiver did not achieve the best possible price for numbers 17, 18, and 19 Moore Lane, which had been used as a car park.

They were sold for €550,000.
