Haughey to face tribunal again despite ill health

CHARLES HAUGHEY is to be grilled again by the Moriarty Tribunal despite his deteriorating health, it emerged yesterday.

The 76-year-old former Taoiseach will be asked whether he made any political decisions which favoured construction firm Cement Roadstone Holdings while he was in government.

Justice Moriarty made the surprise decision to extend the scope of the tribunal’s probe yesterday and said he was aware that Mr Haughey’s age and state of health were an issue.
