Energy officials to be quizzed over Glen Ding sale

THE Moriarty Tribunal yesterday gave details of its latest probe into possible links between former Taoiseach Charles J Haughey and the private sale of State lands in Wicklow to the Roadstone company.

Mr Haughey’s financial adviser, the late Des Traynor — a Roadstone director — was its chairman when the Glen Ding lands sale went through in December 1990.

The price paid was £1.25 million (€1.58m), but after 15 years of planning controversy, Roadstone has not been able to utilise any of the sand and gravel deposits it paid for.
