There have been calls for an independent report to be carried out into the redevelopment of Grattan Square in Dungarvan.
The project, which ran 2 million euro over budget, took 18 months to complete.
However, repair works have had to be carried out in recent weeks, they're due to conclude on Friday.
Sinn Fein's Conor McGuinness raised the issue at this weeks District Council Meeting .
He says there are questions to be answered. "I understand that there is litigation potentially in the offing and that you are precluded from speaking on that side of it" he told engineers. "But perhaps on the internal side, is there a need for some sort of an independent report or to have somebody internally look at the decisions and how the decisions were arrived at and who made them and what level of oversight there was and what we can do to prevent the same thing from happening again."
Gabriel Hynes, senior roads engineer with the council replied "What I will say is as a local authority we appointed a designer who designed the scheme. A contractor was procured in relation to the scheme. And it is our view that the failure rests with those parties involved in the original scheme. And we will be pursuing those legally and I'm not going to say any more at this stage in case I prejudice any future case that may arise."
