Former Nationwide Directors Served Papers

Three former directors of the Irish Nationwide were served papers on Wednesday night by representatives of the special liquidator of IBRC.

Former directors Terence Cooney and Stan Purcell, and former chairman Michael Walsh, were served papers relating to legal action over their stewardship of the building society.

It is understood that papers will also be served on former managing director Michael Fingleton and another former director David Brophy.

The development follows a step by IBRC last year to take action against the directors of the building society.

The bank filed a plenary summons in the High Court last March so its legal action would not be constrained by time limits under the statute of limitations.

It was speculated the legal action related to alleged breach of contract, breach of fiduciary and breach of duty of care.
