THE TRAMYARD CAFÉ Bar Restaurant in Dalkey Village has been closed down by order of the High Court until it complies with fire safety regulations.
Bank appointed receiver Ken Fennell, of Deloitte, today was granted a temporary High Court injunction directing David Coulson, operator of the café bar and restaurant, to pull down the shutters.
Coulson now has to comply with an enforcement order issued by Dun Laoghaire Rathdown (DLR) County Council earlier this month directing that the premises close on grounds of fire safety. It led to cancellation of the Dalkey Lobster Festival.
Barrister Stephen B Byrne, counsel for the receiver, told Mr Justice tony O’Connor that the closure was primarily being brought because of “serious concerns” about public safety as well as preserving the value of the building.
Mr Byrne said Mr Fennell had only days ago become aware of the fire safety concerns and the issuing of the enforcement notice on 18 August last.
He said the fire safety concerns, first reported to DLR County Council by a senior garda, related to a wooden gazebo built outside the premises.
Enforcement
Mr Byrne said that despite the local authority’s decision to issue an enforcement notice ordering the closure until safe safety regulations had been complied with, the restaurant café continued to trade.
He said the planned Lobster Festival had been cancelled after Mr Cloulson had been informed in writing of the County Council’s concerns.
Mr Byrne told the court that failure to comply with an enforcement order amounted to a criminal offence and Mr Fennell had no option other than to bring High Court proceedings.
The court heard Coulson operates the Tramyard on a purported lease. The premises, currently up for sale, is owned by another party and had been put up as security for loans provided by Ulster Bank.
Mr Fennell had been appointed Receiver last year by financial fund Promontoria (Ltd) which had acquired the loans from Ulster Bank.
Judge O’Connor, granting the injunction on an ex-parte basis, he particularly noted the evidence in relation to fire safety concerns.
The Judge adjourned the matter to next week.

Of course if you happen to work for a complete a**ehole who’s constantly looking over his shoulder for potential challengers to humiliate then just go ahead and have a nervous breakdown or else job seekers allowance.
Hard choice that.
When you have a bad manager who doesn’t listen and support you then that stress exacerbates and folks leave or get sick.

Communication is the most important of all. Communicate direction, motivation, disappointment, operation and inspiration and always remember that there is no project greater than the team you build around you.
Nice idea, but isn’t going to work for most of us, especially if your employer sees you as nothing but a resource (robot), they don’t care that your child is ill, had to arrange child care, or come in sick(no paid time for been off sick) you then infect your colleagues, who then go home sick and miss days!
Good article Peter.
Just bring a large calibre firearm with you into meetings. Its such an easy way deflect questions on days you’re just not ‘in the zone’ or ready to run something ‘up the flagpole to see who’ll salute’. Since I’ve started on the ‘F**k off or I’ll shoot you in the face’ programme my stress levels are now in a very manageable place. Phew!
They are trying to justify their own existence. Their proposals are hardly going to work in an environment of six people employed by , say , a shoe shop, a small firm , a convenience store etc.
Sack lazy sods, they spend too much time gossiping and that does not help employee moral?
