Lawlor to bid for contracts in Iraq

DISGRACED former Fianna Fáil TD Liam Lawlor intends to make a bid for multi-million euro contracts in war-ravaged Iraq.

The fallen politician, one of the main targets of the Flood Tribunal who has judgements totalling €848,745 registered against him, intends to reactivate his old Middle Eastern contacts.

Mr Lawlor, who visited Baghdad during Saddam Hussein’s reign of terror, is hoping for a slice of the post-invasion Iraqi pie in the American and European bid for business.
