This article covers various news stories from Ireland, including a developer facing eviction for unpaid rent, a museum facing criticism for awarding a catering contract to a US multinational, a former Ponzi schemer's recent public appearance, and an outdoor clothing retailer's move to install security shutters.

A former Irish developer who went bankrupt in 2009, owing over €350 million, and his wife are facing eviction from their Dublin home after failing to pay €122,000 in rent arrears.

Camerino's owner, Caryna Camerino, stated on Instagram that the new contract terms, including requirements for fixed menu prices, calorie counts, and finished-food preparation only, are not workable for her business. In other news, Breifne O'Brien, a former Ponzi schemer who served half of his seven-year sentence for a multimillion-euro fraud, has been spotted at a Tourism Ireland event in Dubai.

Finally, the outdoor clothing retailer Patagonia has applied for permission to install retractable security shutters at its Dublin store's entrance, citing a robbery last year as the reason. This move has drawn comparisons to a previous controversy involving the Disney Store on Grafton Street, which also sought to prevent rough sleepers from using its doorway as shelter
