The judgment was granted against Donal Rigney, Mountpleasant, Blueball, Tullamore, Co Offaly, and his plant and machinery hire company Donal Rigney Ltd, over lease agreements for machinery used by the company.

Ms Justice Elizabeth Dunne yesterday granted NIAF judgment for €607,581 against Mr Rigney and for €937,920 against Donal Rigney Ltd.

The proceedings arose after Mr Rigney’s firm entered into a number of lease agreements in 2006 with NIAF for provision of machinery. Mr Rigney agreed to guarantee the obligations of his company in respect of some of those agreements.
