A High Court judge has granted a petition from the Charities Regulator for the winding up of the operating company of Dublin charity Inner City Helping Homeless (ICHH).

James Doherty SC, for the regulator, said his client was seeking the wind-up of the solvent company on just and equitable grounds. He said this was to ensure books and records could be secured and the charity’s position preserved for stakeholders and service users. It would also allow for a transition of services.
