Ex-rugby star Shane Byrne will fully respond to claims about conduct of waste company's affairs, judge told

Lawyers for former rugby star Shane Byrne have told the High Court that certain claims about how a waste disposal company's affairs were conducted are "very damaging" and will be fully responded to.
Oxigen Environmental Ltd's application last week for interim injunctions against Mr Byrne and his brother William, arising from their conduct of the affairs of AWD Waste Solutions Ltd, was akin to the infamous "spear tackle" during the 2005 Lions tour of New Zealand, Richard Kean SC told Ms Justice Leonie Reynolds.
