Lawlor faces fourth prison term and prosecution

LIAM LAWLOR could be facing a separate criminal prosecution on top of a fourth term in prison following his latest evidence to the Planning Tribunal.

It emerged yesterday the tribunal may refer Mr Lawlor to the DPP for his contradictory evidence on oath in his 10 days in the witness box at Dublin Castle last month.

The tribunal also postponed a decision on whether to refer Mr Lawlor’s continuing failure to co-operate with the inquiry to the High Court until next month.
