Inquiry told of off-limits Digifone man

The man was discovered by civil servants in the Department of Communications fifth-floor room on Dublin’s Kildare Street, according to a report by Danish consultant Michael Andersen. The six groups bidding for the licence used the room in September 1995 during presentations.

Senior civil servant Martin Brennan, who chaired the group that vetted the applications, will be quizzed by tribunal lawyers as to the man’s identity, whether he had access to any sensitive documents or if anyone else was in the room at the time.
