Irish Cement challenges watchdog
The building materials giant claims the CCPC ‘ran riot’
On May 14 last year, the state’s competition watchdog raided the premises of Irish Cement Limited (ICL) as part of an investigation into anti-competitive practices in the €50 million bagged cement industry.
Now ICL’s parent company the building materials giant Cement Roadstone Holdings (CRH), has taken the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) to the High Court claiming the agency unlawfully seized the entire email account of one of its executives, Seamus Lynch.
