Bad week for Irvine

21 October 2005

Former formula one driver Eddie Irvine will be hoping his involvement in a bankrupt IT company is not an indicator of his potential as a team owner. The 'playboy' Ulsterman, who last raced in F1 with Jaguar in 2002, was a director of British software firm 'Presteligence', which is being wound up by an administrator.

Meanwhile, Irvine, 39, appeared in an Irish court this week after a landscape company sued him for refusing to pay for work done at his home.

Although the judge ordered that Irvine pay nearly $13,000 for the work, he also agreed with the former Ferrari ace's counterclaim amounting to nearly $8000. In addition, 'Plants and Planters' was ordered to pay Irvine's legal costs, the Irish Independent newspaper said.
