THE save Zoe saga goes on after the Supreme Court granted a further stay of execution for another 10 days at least.

WITHIN hours of the Supreme Court decision on Tuesday evening to withdraw court protection from companies in Liam Carroll’s Zoe Group the High Court — inevitably — appointed a provisional liquidator to two Zoe companies.

A JUDGE yesterday described as “lacking in reality” a survival scheme put forward by companies in Liam Carroll’s Zoe building group as he refused to grant the companies court protection. The continuing battle over the companies’ debts of €1.2 billion is heading for the Supreme Court next week.
