Former operators of National Aquatic Centre not entitled to damages, appeal court rules

The former operator of the National Aquatic Centre (NAC) is not entitled to damages over being pursued to pay VAT on the lease for the Abbotstown centre, the Court of Appeal has ruled.
The damages claim by Dublin Waterworld Ltd (DWL) was initiated following a Supreme Court decision in 2010 overturning a €10.2 million arbitrator's VAT award made against DWL in 2005 to the State company which owns the centre.
