Flynn gave written tax pledge to developer

THE drip feed of leaks from the Planning Tribunal took another twist yesterday as it was revealed that Padraig Flynn gave a guarantee about a tax designation to a property company represented by Tom Gilmartin.

The former Minister for the Environment provided a written guarantee to the British company about the tax designation months before it became law.

The change in the law gave Arlington the chance to buy sites in Dublin at low prices, the Sunday Business Post reported yesterday.
