Roadstone must allow inspections of quarries for pyrite case, court rules

Construction industry giant Roadstone has been ordered by the High Court to permit inspections of three of its quarries in Dublin to search for evidence as to whether they were the source of material which caused damage to new homes.

Ballymore Residential Ltd and Crosswinds Cottage Ltd are suing Roadstone Ltd, its parent CRH Ltd, Murphy Concrete (Manufacturing) Ltd and William Miley Ltd over the supply of allegedly defective stone material used in 145 new houses at Drumnigh Wood, Portmarnock, Co Dublin. The defendants deny the claims.
