Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

The point is that Campus and Stadium Ireland Development Limited made a decision based on its best judgment. It was dealing with Dublin Waterworld Limited, a company it ran into difficulty with for all the reasons I have already outlined. There is no need to go back over them. It then took legal action to deal with the situation and won its case on all counts. It does not take from the fact that Rohcon built a fine aquatic centre. During a severe storm the roof blew off because of a structural defect and it had to pay for it with no cost to the taxpayer for the work involved in that.
