Secret tape handed over as part of firm probe

A TAPE containing a secretly recorded business conversation has been handed over to Shannon Foynes Company (SFPC) as part of a probe into allegations made against the company.

This is the latest twist to the major internal investigation being carried out at the port company responsible for shipping in the Shannon Estuary, including Limerick port.

A well-placed SFPC source said the contents of the tape could prove very damaging.
