Injunction granted over school extension row
Summary
In a High Court ruling on 10 November 2017, Mr Justice Michael Twomey granted an injunction requiring Drumderry Aggregate Ltd to hand over certification for the Hollowcore flooring it supplied and fitted at the extension to St Conleth's College in Newbridge, Co Kildare. The extension, designed for 250 students but now serving 477, was to be completed by year‑end 2017 with new facilities ready in January 2018. K&J Townmore Construction Ltd, the main contractor, argued that the lack of certification threatened the project's completion and could cause financial loss exceeding €430,000 if remedial work were needed. Drumderry, represented by Eanna Mulloy SC, opposed the application, claiming it was not responsible for health and safety matters beyond its own work. The judge noted all other certifications had been provided, held Drumderry liable only for its own certification, and ordered the certificates to be delivered within seven days. The injunction was granted to protect the project's timely completion.
