THE High Court has appointed an examiner to O’Brien’s Irish Sandwich Bars Ltd, which employs 20 people directly and 800 indirectly in 85 franchised outlets in Ireland. The company has a total 220 outlets in 13 countries worldwide.

THE managing director of a sandwich bar company, who says health officers found cockroaches in the premises of one of its Dublin franchisees, is seeking a High Court order permanently preventing it from operating under the company’s logo.
