Businessman made £12,000 clandestine cash payment to Dunlop
Mr Mahony, a car dealer, kept no records of the two payments £10,000 for helping efforts to get land he owned in North Co Dublin rezoned a decade ago and £2,000 several months later when Mr Dunlop demanded a "success fee".
Admitting these transactions were "unusual", he said he kept some funds at home in his safe for security reasons and had used some of this money. The money came from his own business and was reflected in the accounts.
