THE Moriarty Tribunal has heard that former Revenue chairman, Seamus Paircéir, argued down the valuation put on the Dunnes Stores family trust by his own officials by around £40 million.

MAJOR questions will be raised over whether Ben Dunne received financial payback from former Taoiseach Charles J Haughey after a tribunal heard yesterday that the Dunne family had their tax bill cut by £22.8 million in the aftermath of meetings with the Revenue initiated by Mr Haughey.
