Dublin firm tells court it cannot supply ventilators, claiming HSE has not honoured contract

A Dublin-based company has claimed before the High Court that the HSE has failed to honour a contract for the provision of 350 medical ventilators to treat those who contract the Covid-19 virus.

Narooma Ltd, which provides various services to the pharmaceutical and life-science industries, claims that late last month it entered into an agreement to source and sell intensive care unit medical ventilators, for a sum of just over €7.4m, to the Health Service Executive (HSE).
