Examiner confirmed for Eircom

The High Court has confirmed the appointment of an examiner to Eircom.

The decision will facilitate efforts to achieve a restructuring of Eircom and related companies employing a total of 5,800 people.

Mr Justice Peter Kelly last month appointed an interim examiner to Eircom and two related companies — Meteor and ITI — to ensure protection from creditors while putting in place a restructuring plan.
