Kearny claimed the owners of the property had consented to the works he had undertaken and also denied that he had caused the problems claimed by plaintiffs. The term of the lease was 25 years with initial annual rent at €40,000, increasing by €5,000 per annum for each of the first five years. The High Court heard that the owners had effected a peaceable re-entry of the pub in December 2009 after it had been abandoned with rent, rates and water charges unpaid and the electricity cut off.In evidence to the High Court, Kearney conceded that the works carried out in 2007 were not designed or supervised by any competent professional or expert.

He said Walsh indicated he was open to such alterations but would first need to see the plans and consult with his partners.
