Lynch has neither sought nor been offered a seat on NTR’s board

IAWS Co-op boss, Philip Lynch, has neither sought nor been offered a seat on the board of toll road to waste management group NTR Plc.

Jim Barry, chief executive, NTR Plc said: "It was a matter for the activities committee" as to who was given a seat on the board.

Mr Lynch has not requested a seat at the NTR table despite having spent €130m buying up 26% of NTR's equity at an average price of €19 since January 2005 on behalf of the co-op for which he has major development plans.
