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.

    @Finipops: I’m more inclined to believe the robbery/arson theory. More than likely robbed to order & is now sitting in someone’s private collection.

    If that is Moon dust then it should be radioactive from the solar and cosmic radiations?

    @Alois Irlmaier:
    Explain the science behind your assumption?
    Are you saying the whole moon is radioactive? Are the astronauts that landed there in danger? Aldrin has survived quite a long time.
    Or maybe you’re an idiot.

    “The surface of the Moon is badly exposed to cosmic rays and solar flares, and some of that radiation is very hard to stop with shielding.” “All this radiation penetrating Human flesh can damage DNA, boosting the risk of cancer and other maladies.”

    “When galactic cosmic rays collide with particles in the lunar surface, they trigger little nuclear reactions that release yet more radiation in the form of neutrons. The lunar surface itself is radioactive.”

    @Stephen Coveney: Dailymail there meant to say neutron radiation not UV but UV would be dangerous but not as bad as the gamma and X Ray radiation there.
