Attorney General to study judgement against council

THE Attorney General will be asked by the Government to study a High Court judgement which could lead to Limerick City Council having to pay more than €50 million damages to a construction company.

The council has been found to have wrongly fired Uniform Construction from the Limerick Main Drainage Scheme in 2001.

Speaking in Limerick, FInance Minister Brian Cowen said it was a matter for the Minister for the Environment and the local authority.
