Receiver set for mid-west builder

ONE of the mid-west’s largest building firms, Paddy Burke Builders Ltd, that once employed over 110 people, has gone into receivership.

Documents have been lodged with the Companies Registration Office confirming the appointment of a receiver for the Clare construction firm.

The first sign that the Lisdoonvarna-based building firm was in difficulty was in October when Clare County Council terminated a contract for a 22-unit housing development in Shannon due to “the failure by the contractor to comply with the terms and conditions of the contract”.
