Council backs down in one of Uniform cases

LIMERICK City Council has decided to drop one of its court actions taken in relation to the Uniform Construction debacle which could cost the taxpayer up to €50 million.

The council is not proceeding with a move to have a case stated in the High Court on specific legal points arising from an arbitrator’s decision which came down on the side of the company.

The arbitrator found that Uniform Construction were wrongly fired from the €240m Limerick Main drainage scheme.
