McCann Fitzgerald said he had advised regulatory authorities, statutory bodies, local authorities and developers on the delivery of a wide range of local and national projects.
In recent years, he has advised on a number of projects across the State spanning the areas of energy, transport, water, wastewater and the agri-business sector. They include the Corrib gas project; the Luas Cross City; the Aviva Stadium; the incinerator at Duleek; and the redevelopment of RTÉ’s Montrose campus. Mr Slattery will take up his new role on May 1st.
