A civil case being brought against Senator Fidelma Healy Eames and her husband, Michael Eames, for alleged non-payment for work carried out at their home more than two years ago, will be heard on July 25th.
Oranmore tradesman Michael Allen is suing the couple for plumbing work carried out at an extension to their home in Maree, Oranmore. Mr Allen first took the civil action against Ms Healy Eames and her husband in June 2010.
When the matter first came before Judge Gerald Keys at Galway Circuit Civil Court in March, he advised both sides to meet their engineers at the house to iron out their differences and agree costs of works involved.
The court in Galway heard yesterday that engineers for both sides had met but their reports differed so much a full hearing was required.
The case is expected to last half a day.
