Electric Picnic founder John Reynolds is looking to open a 'quirky' new music venue in Dublin

Reynolds told the court that the new venue will employ 32 staff.

RESTAURATEUR AND NIGHTCLUB entrepreneur John Reynolds is hoping to open his new music venue on Clarendon Market in Dublin within the next six months, a court has been told.

Barrister Constance Cassidy SC told the Circuit Licensing Court that Reynolds is a director of Width of a Circle Ltd, which was granted planning permission to change the use of No 5, Clarendon Market, from a retail unit to a restaurant, bar and live music venue.

Cassidy said Width of a Circle was now seeking a declaratory certificate to ensure it would get a full licence if the premises are built in accordance with planning permission.

Counsel told Judge Karen Fergus that the new premises will comprise of a bar and restaurant area on the ground floor and a live music venue upstairs.

Gastro bar

John Reynolds – the man behind the Market Bar, Tripod and Idlewind Bar on Fade Street – said the concept for his new premises will include a gastro bar which will serve “rustic” Irish food.

Reynolds told the court that the new venue will employ 32 staff and he will be involved in running the “quirky” premises.

Cassidy said Width of a Circle Ltd was formed in June 2015 and had an agreement to buy out a full license from Dundalk Football Club Limited.

She said that if the company was granted the certificate, it would have two years to come back to the court and apply for a full license, but was hopeful to do so within the next six months.

Judge Fergus granted Width of a Circle Ltd the declaratory certificate.

    Poor Syria. Has been under military attack for over a year by countries.
    It would not surprise me if it was the US who hacked.
    Which would be funny because the US has said that if any country that hacks any of its systems it will immediately be seen as an act of war. Yet the US hacks systems all over the world and sees no problem with it.

    Spare a thought for the 100,000 Syrian refugees in turkey because Assad doesn’t care or will not protect them!

    The vast majority of those refugees are there Declan because the so called rebels are commiting terrible war crimes on civilians and they fear for their lives and those of their children. Syria is trying to defeat these terrorists and armed thugs.
    These rebels are killing farmers for harvesting crops, government workers and blockading entire villages and towns and starving people to death.

    I wonder if you all will feel the same when some jihadi nut job takes over the place.
