A Dublin businesswoman, who denies she ran a nightclub where a naked man tied to a crucifix had his bare bum whipped, is to appeal a decision of Dublin County Registrar, Rita Considine, striking out her bid to join a former manager to legal proceedings against her.

Forensic accountant and landlord Liam Grant has asked the Circuit Civil Court to direct that Hilda Conway forfeit her tenancy of a basement night club at 127 Lower Baggot Street, Dublin, which he alleged had been used as a brothel and for staging Sadomasochistic practices.
