Cosgrave blasts Dunlop over bribe allegations

FORMER Fine Gael TD Liam Cosgrave has launched a blistering, verbal attack on Frank Dunlop over Mr Dunlop’s allegations that Mr Cosgrave was paid £7,000 for his support on controversial land rezoning

In an unexpected appearance at the Flood Tribunal in Dublin yesterday, Mr Cosgrave branded the man he once considered his friend as "dishonest" and "greedy".

It represents the first of what is expected to be many attacks on the character of Mr Dunlop, the former Government Press Secretary who has claimed over a dozen developers gave him £184,000 to bribe politicians.
