THE director of the construction company which built the controversial home of former minister Ray Burke in Swords has been refused the vast majority of his legal costs by the Planning Tribunal.

DISGRACED former minister Ray Burke could face a tax bill of up to several million euro in relation to corrupt payments from property developers.

RAY BURKE took part in what amounted to a corrupt transaction when he purchased his home in North Co Dublin, the Flood Tribunal has concluded.

FORMER Fianna Fáil minister Ray Burke could be facing a two-year jail sentence over his failure to co-operate with the Tribunal on 14 separate counts.

Building developer Tom Brennan is expected to face further tough questions when he resumes his evidence at the Flood Tribunal later this morning.
