Foynes port firm faces fresh court challenge

THE troubled Shannon Foynes Port Company (SFPC), which will have to pay out hundreds of thousands of euro in damages and costs arising from a recent High Court settlement now faces another court battle.

Former SFPC non-executive director, Morgan Leahy, who recently settled a damages action against the firm, has initiated new High Court proceedings claiming SFPC has breached terms of its settlement.
