Prestigious club repossessed by new owners

An order granted by Judge Jacqueline Linnane, directing the legal takeover of No 5 Merrion Court, Merrion Row, Dublin, will present major operating problems for the venue and almost halve the area of the adjoining Unicorn.
The Circuit Civil Court heard that, apart from the Unicorn’s use of No 5 as a piano bar and nightclub, it housed the restaurant’s hot water boiler, staff dressing room, water tank, and ice-making machine.
