However the High Court was told employers this morning that possible investors in the company had 'fallen by the wayside' and the company now had no reasonable prospect of survival.
Mr Justice Peter Charlton appointed Mr Niall Hughes as examiner.
Meanwhile, it has emerged that workers at one of the biggest builders providers in Waterford will picket the firm tomorrow morning in a strike by members of the trade union UNITE.
