THE Planning Tribunal has referred the non-attendance of an English solicitor at yesterday’s sitting of the inquiry to the English Law Society.

Former Fianna Fáil TD Liam Lawlor has admitted that he has not yet paid capital gains tax on £100,000 he received three years ago as part payment for an acre of land attached to his home in Lucan, west Dublin.

One of Liam Lawlor's solicitors may be called to give evidence to the Planning Tribunal about the former Fianna Fáil TD's financial dealings.

THE Planning Tribunal chairman, Judge Alan Mahon, said evidence about Liam Lawlor’s role in creating false documentation would suggest the former TD was engaged in money laundering.

Former Fianna Fáil TD Liam Lawlor has revealed details of how he faked an invoice to hide a £100,000 cash payment he received in connection with the sale of an acre of land attached to his home in Lucan, west Dublin.

FORMER Fianna Fáil TD Liam Lawlor, who claims he cannot afford to pay a stg£10,000 legal bill, has an annual expenditure of over €200,000.
