Savoy owners fear Screen building buyers will breach cinema/theatre restriction
The owners of Dublin's Savoy Cinema fear a company which bought the Screen Cinema from it intends to use it as a cinema/theatre in breach of a sale undertaking that it would not be used for this purpose for 20 years.
The Dublin Cinema Group (DCG) is seeking a High Court injunction preventing Balark Trading GP and Balark Investments from using the Screen building and the neighbouring College House, just off D'Olier Street, as a cinema/theatre. The Savoy, as a competitor cinema, is just down the road in O'Connell Street.
