Efforts are continuing to resolve legal proceedings arising from the involvement of Health Minister James Reilly and others in the purchase of a nursing home in Co Tipperary.

A bid to secure the sale of a nursing home at the centre of a legal row could ultimately result in a €1.9m judgment order obtained last year against the minister for health and several others being discharged.

Health Minister James Reilly, Fine Gael Cllr Anne Devitt and others have consented to judgment orders for €1.9m being made against them at the Commercial Court under a settlement of proceedings over an alleged contract to buy a nursing home.
