Lap-dance club to appeal against closure decision

ONE of Dublin’s top lap-dance clubs is facing closure after a district court judge ruled that an illegal sexual act had taken place on its premises.

Yesterday, Judge Michael Connellan refused to renew the annual music and dance licences of the Barclay Club on South William St, Dublin 2.

The club had its licence renewal applications turned down by the Dublin District Court because of garda objections against the character of the licence holders.
