Plans to merge between two Irish construction companies have reportedly been abandoned. According to reports, Lagan Cement and Quinn Building Products have ditched their deal after a joint statement announcing the two would part ways. Discussions of a merger first arose last December; Quinn’s chief executive made a statement of wanting to create an independent Irish cement producer. The two have reportedly decided against the deal so as to not have to go through the Competition Authority.
