Dunlop to continue tribunal testimony next week

FORMER political lobbyist Frank Dunlop, who has admitted bribing Dublin county councillors, is due to give further evidence to the Mahon tribunal investigating planning corruption early next week.

Mr Dunlop named 14 councillors who he alleges received corrupt payments in the early 1990s in connection with the rezoning of the controversial Quarryvale development in west Dublin.

The councillors have denied Mr Dunlop’s allegations. Some of them, however, admit receiving payments from Mr Dunlop but insist they were legitimate political donations.
