Tribunal not to warn media on Lawlor reports
The former Fianna Fáil TD complained to tribunal chairman Mr Justice Flood about language used in some reports. This was after remarks made about him in a statement from Frank Dunlop read out during the opening days of public hearings last week.
In two letters sent in recent days, Mr Lawlor said the reports were “misleading”, “damaging” and “prejudicial”. He called on Justice Flood to draw the media's attention to his assertion that what was being reported was at odds with the evidence.
