The High Court has confirmed the appointment of an examiner to the operator of an Eddie Rockets restaurant franchise at the Stillorgan Shopping Centre in Dublin.

At the High Court yesterday, Mr Justice Michael Peart said that he was satisfied to appoint insolvency practitioner Gary Lennon as examiner to Curra Properties Ltd, which runs the restaurant.

The firm, with more than 20 employees, got into financial problems over an historic debt of €1 million owed to Revenue.

The judge heard Mr Lennon was appointed interim examiner last month after the High Court was informed Curra was insolvent and unable to pay its debts.
