High Court rules Crosbie firm will have to give up possession of haulage premises to Dublin Port Company

The High Court has ruled the Dublin Port Company (DPC) is entitled to possession of property which had been leased to a haulage company of businessman Simon Crosbie, son of Harry Crosbie who once had large interests in the docklands.

The semi-state DPC claimed Automation Transport had been overholding on a lease for the former Heatons builders providers timber storage property at Promenade Road. DPC said it required the property for wider redevelopment of the port for core import and export activity.
