Loyola, the company that owns the Bath Pub in Sandymount, Dublin 4, has made overtures regarding buying the Leopardstown Inn.
Loyola, which is partially owned by Eoin O'Malley, a former centre for the Leinster rugby team, has formally submitted a bid to buy Hyper Trust, the company that owns the desired property.
An examiner, Anthony Weldon of Kieran Ryan & Co, has been appointed to Hyper Trust, which is also a prominent shareholder in the Dublin-based radio station Newstalk FM. Weldon is to draw up a scheme of arrangement for the benefit of Hyper Trust's creditors by the end of January.
Brian and Des Reddy, its current shareholders, also have made a bid, according to a report in the Sunday Business Post.
