Lawlor was central to bribes scam, says Dunlop

The disgraced politician who has been jailed three times for failure to co-operate fully with the tribunal is named as one of three people behind controversial company Jackson Way Properties and its predecessor, Paisley Park Investments.

Dunlop, who is due to be a witness at the tribunal early next month, has claimed Lawlor not only had a financial interest in the company and the lands it owns at Carrickmines in south Co Dublin but also acted as a middleman between the other owners and county councillors they needed to pay in order to buy support for rezoning motions in relation to these and other lands.
