“High Court Appoints Liquidator to RocDoc Health Check Amid Rent Arrears Battle with Landlord”

RocDoc, a healthcare provider in Ireland, has been declared “certainly insolvent” by the High Court in Dublin. The company, which operates urgent care centers and Covid-19 testing facilities, has struggled financially due to a drop in demand for its services during the pandemic. The court has appointed a liquidator to wind up the business, leaving many patients and employees unsure about their futures. The downfall of RocDoc highlights the challenges facing healthcare providers in the wake of the Covid-19 crisis.


A liquidator has been appointed to Covid-19 testing company RocDoc Health Check by the High Court after a petition from the company’s north Dublin landlord, to which it owes more than €155,000. RocDoc was incorporated by businessman David Rock in August 2020 and operated several walk-in Covid testing centers across Ireland, including at Dublin, Cork, Shannon and Knock airports. The company also agreed to lease 22,500 sq ft of office space in Swords Business Park in north county Dublin in February 2022. However, the High Court heard that the company owed its creditors €3.1 million by the end of 2021, and its total liability had increased to roughly €308,000 by February 2022. The court appointed Myles Kirby of Kirby Healy Chartered Accountants as liquidator as RocDoc had no assets and was insolvent. The company did not object to Kirby’s appointment.


The appointment of a liquidator for RocDoc, a popular healthcare provider in the Irish market, raises questions about the company’s future in light of its mounting financial woes. As the High Court officially declares RocDoc ‘certainly insolvent’, it marks the end of a tumultuous chapter for the company and its stakeholders. While many patients may feel disappointed by the news, it is important to note that their health and wellbeing remain paramount. In this time of uncertainty, it is crucial that patients seek alternative healthcare providers and prioritize their health needs. As we look towards the future, it is crucial that we learn from RocDoc’s demise and ensure that the Irish healthcare industry remains resilient in the face of financial challenges.
