I am advised that on 15 April 2011, the High Court made an order placing The Lighthouse Cinema in involuntary liquidation and a liquidator was appointed. On 27 April, Neil Hughes of Hughes Blake was appointed Receiver and Manager by Bord Scannán na hÉireann and The Arts Council with the agreement of my Department. Following appropriate examination and analysis of the emerging situation, my Department will be advised by the Chief State Solicitor and the Attorney General on the best approach to take in conjunction with Bord Scannán na hÉireann and The Arts Council.
