Lawlor home may be sold by court to pay legal bill

LIAM LAWLOR could be forced to sell his Lucan mansion to pay the legal bills arising from his failure to co-operate with the Planning Tribunal.

Inquiry lawyers yesterday sought a High Court order that a bill for over €430,000 partial payment of the total owed should be enforced against the former Fianna Fáil deputy by the sale of some of his property.

Mr Lawlor, who was issued with a summons, was unable to attend as he was appearing as a witness in Dublin Castle.
