A legal action against Minister for Health Dr James Reilly, Fine Gael councillor Anne Devitt and others, in connection with an alleged contract to buy a nursing home in Co Tipperary, has been settled, the Commercial Court has heard.
The case was mentioned to Mr Justice Peter Kelly at the court yesterday by Bernard Dunleavy, for the plaintiffs, who said it had settled subject to a final issue. The judge agreed to his request to list the matter for mention again next Monday.
The plaintiffs claimed Dr Reilly and four others were to buy the nursing home for €1.95 million, plus VAT, and were to secure the release of the plaintiffs from all liabilities to Bank of Ireland.
