High Court Judge in Dublin blocks Mars Capital Finances takeover of McGrattans pub over a one-million-euro debt due to improper service of papers. The debt stems from loans Bank of Ireland made in 2014 and 2023, which Mars bought up. Pub boss Dan McGrattan counters with a petition to wind up G-Mac, claiming a one point five million euro debt from a 2011 mortgage deal, labeling Marss charge invalid and seeking to shut down the company. The legal battle continues as the petition heads back to court next month.
