Appeal court allows receiver to repossess Capel Street building which housed former theatre and showroom

A receiver can go ahead with the possession of a Victorian building previously used as a theatre and antiques showroom in Dublin's Capel Street, the Court of Appeal (CoA) has ruled.

Numbers 114-116 is a three-storey building constructed in 1871 and has a notable arcaded ground floor, window surrounds and cornice. It has gone through many uses over the years, including as the Torch Theatre/Dublin Coffee Tavern Company and an antiques showroom after it was bought in 1988 by James Oman.
