Lawlor could face fourth stint in prison
The tribunal sat for the first time yesterday since the retirement of former chairman, Mr Justice Feargus Flood to hear further claims that the controversial politician was delaying its work.
Mr Lawlor was summoned to appear before the inquiry to explain what the tribunal argues is his unsatisfactory response to orders for discovery relating to the sale of one acre of land at his home in Lucan, Co Dublin for £690,000 in 2001.
