Jail threat as tribunal moves to muzzle media

THE Mahon Tribunal will announce this morning that it will seek a High Court order directing Sunday Business Post journalist Barry O’Kelly to reveal the source of confidential documents.

The move may leave him facing the possibility of imprisonment.

The tribunal has told the Sunday Business Post that it will also disclose this morning that it intends to seek an injunction against the newspaper preventing it from leaking any confidential tribunal material in the future, before it has been heard in a public sitting.
