Information 'withheld from Taoiseach' over bid for national aquatic centre

Vital information about the consortium awarded the contract to build the €63m National Aquatic centre which would have resulted in its exclusion from the tendering process was withheld from the Taoiseach and members of the Government, the High Court heard today.

The claims were made on behalf of Dublin International Arena Ltd in its action against Campus Stadium Ireland Development Ltd, the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation, Ireland and the Attorney General over the award of the contract to build, design, operate and maintain the Abbotstown facility.
