O’Callaghan wins injunction against Mahon Tribunal

THE High Court yesterday granted an injunction to Cork property developer Owen O’Callaghan to stop further public hearings of the Mahon tribunal inquiring into matters related to the rezoning of Quarryvale pending the outcome of judicial review proceedings.

Mr Justice Quirke said the court would be in a position to hear those proceedings within the first four weeks of the new legal term.

Layers for Mr O’ Callaghan and others had sought the injunction to prevent the Mahon tribunal from further inquiring into or making any findings on allegations made against him by developer Tom Gilmartin.
