Revenue's renewed-liquor-licence register lists licence ref 1000601 as a Publican's Licence (ordinary) - Theatre at CLASAC CULTURAL CENTRE, ALFIE BYRNE ROAD, CLONTARF in DUBLIN CITY with COMHALTAS CEOLTOIRI EIREANN as licensee.[1]
The Irish Times reported in 2008 that Clasac, on Alfie Byrne Road in Dublin's East Wall, included a 250-seat auditorium, recording studio, archive/library, intimate performance space and two bars.[2] The same report said Comhaltas's Clontarf branch had spent 15 years working on the new centre before Comhaltas HQ dissolved the branch in a dispute centred on stewardship of the project.[2] A 2009 Irish Times report said the controversy involved allegations about a VAT refund and a claimed EUR2 million overspend on a EUR9 million budget.[3]
