Redmond rejects payroll allegation
Mr Redmond took issue with claims by another developer, Tom Gilmartin, at the Mahon Tribunal yesterday, that he had deliberately interfered with the businessman's plans to develop a major shopping centre at Quarryvale in order to help a rival project.
Mr Gilmartin told the inquiry that he had been informed by other council officials in 1989 that Mr Redmond who was then assistant city and county manager was being paid by another developer, Green Property. The witness maintained that the company's managing director, John Corcoran, had made a spurious bid to counter his offer to buy council-owned land at Quarryvale based on information he had been given by Mr Redmond.
