Port tunnel builders to be sued over repeated problems
Two state bodies are reportedly suing the builders of the Dublin Port Tunnel over repeated system failures which they claim have led to frequent closures.
Reports this morning say the National Roads Authority and Dublin City Council have decided to take the action after a problem caused the tunnel to be closed for eight hours yesterday.
Dublin City Council had to lift its ban on heavy goods vehicles in the city centre, leading to severe traffic congestion across the city.
The NRA and Dublin City Council are reportedly seeking compensation from the consortium that built the €750m tunnel to recover all costs associated with the malfunctions.
