THE Dublin Docklands Development Authority has brought a preliminary application aimed at having developer Bernard McNamara’s company Donatex Ltd provide security for the costs of their legal action alleging the authority exposed them to claims of more than €108 million over the purchase of the Irish Glass Bottle site at Ringsend.
