Firm directors should be liable for €3.2m debts, court told

TWO directors of a building company which went into voluntary liquidation should be made personally liable for its €3.2 million debts — including €2.1m in under-declared tax liabilities — it was claimed in the High Court yesterday.

Peter Killeen and Lorraine Higgins, who were the only directors of PSK Construction Ltd, should be made liable and should be disqualified or restricted from future involvement in companies, the liquidator of the firm claimed in the proceedings which opened yesterday.

The Naas-based firm employed around 160 workers in sub-contracting work on major sites around Dublin before it went into liquidation in March 2006.
