The High Court yesterday continued its protection of Cavan Crystal Glass after it was told it was hoped up to £1.3 million might be invested in the troubled company.

Bord Failte, which is supporting the efforts to save the company, said it wanted to see the new visitors' centre at the factory operational as soon as possible.

Mr Justice Shanley continued the court's protection of the company when told that it was hoped to obtain a further £200,000 bringing to a total of £1.293 million the proposed injection of investment in the company.
