Reilly and others agree to €1.9m judgment

Health Minister James Reilly, Fine Gael Cllr Anne Devitt and others have consented to judgment orders for €1.9m being made against them at the Commercial Court under a settlement of proceedings over an alleged contract to buy a nursing home.

The case came before Mr Justice Peter Kelly at the Commercial Court yesterday when Bernard Dunleavy, for the plaintiffs, said it had settled on confidential terms.

Charles Meenan SC represented Dr Reilly while the other defendants were also represented by counsel.
