Gilmartin received death threats warninghim away from tribunal

KEY Mahon Tribunal witness Tom Gilmartin received death threats as recently as a year ago warning him not to give evidence to the investigation into planning corruption.

The Sligo-born developer said yesterday he was told to “remember Veronica Guerin” and warned that if he turned up at the Tribunal in Dublin, he would not be coming back.

Mr Gilmartin said the telephone threats to his home in Luton began in 1998 after a newspaper report appeared saying that tribunal staff planned to interview him.
