CIE is seeking possession in High Court proceedings of a site in Dublin's city centre, where a Johnny Ronan company has started work on what is planned to be Ireland's tallest office and hotel building.

CIE owns the site for the planned 22-storey structure at Tara St and, in 2015, entered into a lease agreement with Tanat Ltd — part of Ronan Group Real Estate (RGRE)  — to develop the property.
