An award of costs against a liquidator in favour of Revenue was today upheld by the Supreme Court.

A liquidator to a Co Kildare hotel has been removed over what a judge said was his “flawed understanding” of his role.

Claims by 190 students aimed at recovering €300,000 fees and other costs incurred when they could not complete courses at Eden College after its liquidation were properly disallowed as claims in the liquidation, the Court of Appeal ruled.

Michael McDonagh of the St Joseph’s Miltown club was elected as the new Clare County Board chairman at last night’s annual convention in Ennis.
