The building earmarked as the proposed flagship headquarters for Anglo Irish Bank is a “more fitting tombstone to the supposed Celtic Tiger”, a High Court judge has said when an action over the property came before him.
Mr Justice Peter Kelly made the comment yesterday when dealing with pre-trial issues in proceedings by a German company against Anglo, now Irish Bank Resolution Corporation, which was contracted to provide a facade for the building and which claims it suffered substantial loss as a result of the building not being completed.
Metallbau Fruh is claiming damages and a declaration that Anglo must compensate it for all works done to date.
The case has been adjourned to October.
