Private school in tribunal spotlight

ONE of the country’s most prestigious private schools will feature in the latest allegations of corruption to be heard by the Planning Tribunal later this week.

The political lobbyist, Frank Dunlop is expected to claim he paid bribes to several members of Dublin County Council in the early 1990s in return for their support to get lands owned by St Gerard’s School in Bray, Co Wicklow, rezoned.

Mr Dunlop will resume giving evidence at Dublin Castle on Wednesday when the tribunal will begin its third module in relation to property developments involving the former Government press secretary.
