In a follow up to the interview Rory McMahon conducted on June 17th of this year with John Scallon and Seamus Maye regarding the anti-competitive practices of CRH.  Today the Supreme Court was asked to overturn the ruling due to an alleged bias of High Court Judge John Cooke who owns CRH shares valued at 135,835 eruos, which is $184,659.

In its action, yet to be heard, Goode Concrete alleges CRH, Roadstone Wood Ltd and Kilsaran Concrete were involved in anti-competitive practises forcing Goode’s collapse in 2011. The defendants deny the claims and, in opposing the appeal against Judge Cooke’s rulings, contend Goode waived its right to raise the objective bias claim in circumstances where Judge Cooke disclosed his CRH shareholding in November 2010.

The PI-Map

GIMG has just added a new link at the top of our page called “The PI-Map”.  With this map you can click on the state and a window will pop up to provide you the Regulatory Body in that state if licensing is required.  In addition the PI Association for the state will also be displayed if one exists.  We hope you find this resource of value.  Our goal is to drive people to the right information and resources with in our community.

We are also currently working on a similar solution for the following locations;  Canada, South/Central America, Europe, and Asia.
