Building firm sues Irish Asphalt for alleged deceit over product ‘not fit for purpose’

A building company has sued Irish Asphalt Limited (IAL) for loss and damage for alleged deceit over putting on the market an in-fill product when it allegedly knew it was “not fit for purpose” and contained excessive amounts of reactive pyrite.

James Elliott Construction Ltd says, arising from its use of the in-fill product supplied by IAL, legal action has been brought against it by St Canice’s Boys National School and Forest Tosara Ltd.

It is also concerned about potential claims relating to some 14 other building projects including Mulhuddart Enterprise Centre, Power City at Coolmine, Santry Student Accommodation and projects including at Blanchardstown, Donabate and Park West.
