Two government ministries are being sued for alleged breach of a €4.4m contract for the refurbishment of a building in a west Dublin industrial estate for its use as an accommodation centre for international protection applicants.
Delivering her summary judgment, Justice Cockerill said the gowns failed to comply with a "validated sterilisation process", as explicitly required under the contract. While PPE Medpro had accepted this requirement during contractual negotiations, the gowns it supplied lacked the appropriate Notified Body numbers mandated under EU legislation for Class I sterile medical devices. "PPE Medpro breached the contract," the judge concluded, citing the absence of sufficient sterilisation certification and technical compliance.
