Monday, 12 October 2009 16:27
A company is claiming €114m in damages from three other firms over the clean-up of the former Irish Steel plant at Haulbowline Island.
The proceedings are being brought in the Commercial Court by Louis J O'Regan Ltd against the three other firms, CTO Greenclean Environmental Solutions Ltd, Hammond Lane Metal Company Ltd and Eastwood Ltd, over alleged breaches of agreements to clear contaminated materials from the site.
The case was admitted to the Commercial Court list this morning.
One of the companies, Hammond Lane Metal Company Ltd, claims there is no basis for the claim against it.
In separate proceedings, Hammond Lane is suing the State over its alleged failure to pay sums of more than €8m arising from the clean-up.
It will apply to have that case transferred next week to the Commercial Court.
