Firm that left Co Cork drain project continues road work

A large construction firm which pulled out of a €3.5m drainage scheme in West Cork earlier this week is continuing to work on a major roads scheme in Cork city.

SIAC Construction yesterday declined to comment on a decision, reached with Cork County Council, to suspend work on a vital services project in Bandon.

It also refused to comment on its continuing involvement in the construction of two major flyovers on the southwestern approach to Cork City.
