In February, Mr Godart had another prosecution dropped for "egregious" breaches of planning laws with unauthorised Airbnb lettings in Dublin.

Earlier this month, Dublin District Court heard the businessman had to be brought "kicking and screaming" to finally pay two former Dublin tenants €13,563

Marc Godart, Green Label’s sole director, said in an affidavit that the company was no longer trading and had no funds to pay the award

The judge said he did not believe the joining of Mr Godart could come as a surprise and that the move should have been “as clear as a pikestaff”.
