Council granted injunction over use of Doolin pier cabin

Clare County Council has secured a High Court injunction restraining the use of a new cabin office at Doolin Harbour for the sale of ferry-ride tickets.

The order was granted by Mr Justice David Keane yesterday, who also placed a one week stay on the injunction coming into effect to allow sea and coastal ferry owners Dick Grant and his company, Sarahfenn Limited, and Liam O’Brien, and his company, Baid Farantoireachta an Chosta Teoranta, to take various steps.

Clare County Council sought an injunction, which is to remain in place until the dispute has been resolved by the High Court, restraining ticket sales from the new cabin on the grounds that it had been erected without planning permission.
