€83m bill, but ‘I’d do it again’

THE Department of Environment’s head has admitted she would follow the same course of action again which was taken when a €9 million Limerick sewage pipe job ended up costing the taxpayer €83m.

No one was fired or sanctioned after the simple 2.6km sewage scheme under Limerick city left taxpayers stung.

Uniform Construction Ltd was wrongfully fired from the €9.5m sewerage scheme in 2001.
