Six One News: Sinéad Crowley reports that the club's trading life was dogged by protests and licensing problems
It has been announced that Stringfellows Lap dancing club on Parnell Street, Dublin, has closed down.
It ceased trading this afternoon citing it was no longer in a position to meet its financial obligations.
Stringfellows opened on 1 February this year.
The club had been opposed by locals from the outset.
The Deputy Lord Mayor of Dublin has welcomed the closure of the club.
Councillor Aodhan Ó Riordain said the news would be well received in the local area.
He said Parnell Street is a residential area and was never suitable for a club of this nature.
