The High Court has ordered the winding up of Coalport Building Company, whose directors include developer Tom McFeely, over a €144,000 debt to Revenue.
The court put a one-week stay on the order and the appointment of a liquidator in the event of an appeal to the Supreme Court.
Other creditors present in court were the personnel company MCR, which claims to be owed €40,000, and Theresa McGuinness, who is owed more than €100,000 on foot of a High Court order and is also claiming more than €200,000 in costs.
Counsel for Coalport today offered a cheque for payment to Revenue and the court was asked to adjourn for two weeks to allow time for it to be cleared. But Ms Justice Mary Laffoy said there had already been a adjournment in the case to allow time to pay and that the court was not a debt collection service.
She ordered the liquidation of the company but put a one-week stay on the order to allow time for a Supreme Court appeal.
Theresa McGuinness won €103,000 damages against Coalport in the High Court two years ago after a judge ruled there were structural defects in a house built for her in Balrothery, north county Dublin.
Ms McGuinness has not been paid the money and is also claiming over €200,000 in costs. After today's hearing she said she was pleased with the order and that she would be taking over legal means to recover the debt.
Earlier this month, in a separate case, Coalport was ordered by the High Court to complete fire safety works in an apartment complex at Aras na Cluaine in Clondalkin.
And apartment owners in Priory Hall, Clongriffin, are also in dispute with Coalport over continuing problems in that complex.
