Dispute may delay opening of new Kildare school facility, High Court hears
Summary
In a High Court hearing, K&J Townmore Construction Ltd, the main contractor for an extension to St Conleth's College in Newbridge, Co Kildare, argued that a dispute with subcontractor Drumderry Aggregate Ltd could delay the opening of the new school facilities. The extension, designed to accommodate 250 students but now serving 477, was expected to be finished by year‑end and ready for use in January 2018. K&J claims Drumderry failed to provide required certification for flooring supplied and installed by the subcontractor, a certification essential under building regulations. Without the certificates, K&J fears costly remedial work, potentially exceeding €430,000. K&J has sought an order compelling Drumderry to supply the certificates and preventing their withholding. Mr Justice Paul Gilligan granted ex‑parte notice and set the case for a return next week. The dispute centres solely on the certification issue, unrelated to other legal actions between the parties. The outcome of the order remains pending.
