I have been following this dispute with interest. I have looked at all the arguments from both sides but I am still confused about one thing. The Clontarf branch have been criticised for getting in above their collective heads. But why did Labhras O Murchu allow the project to proceed if Clontarf did not have sufficient resources at their disposal?
Such criticism does seem a little rich coming now! Surely the correct time for this criticism would have been BEFORE embarking on the construction of the centre. If the allegation is true then surely Sen O Murchu should have pulled the plug before the construction phase. So why didn't he?
