Tax exile Kennedy expected to snub planning inquiry
Reclusive businessman Jim Kennedy has so far refused to respond in any detail to a series of correspondence from the tribunal's legal team.
It is also unclear whether Mr Kennedy or any of his legal representatives will attend a hearing of the tribunal this afternoon. However, the former publican has repeatedly indicated his unwillingness to co-operate with the planning inquiry. Mr Kennedy is believed to be one of the beneficial owners of both Paisley Park Investments and Jackson Way Properties the past and present owners respectively of more than 100 acres of land at Carrickmines in south Dublin which were the subject of several controversial, rezoning motions during the 1990s.
