Roadstone ‘did not canvas anybody’ on Glen Ding sale

FORMER senior Roadstone executives told the Moriarty Tribunal yesterday there was no evidence of political interference when the company privately bought State lands in Co Wicklow that contained large sand and gravel deposits 15 years ago.

The tribunal is investigating if any link exists between the controversial sale and payments to former Taoiseach Charles Haughey.

The late Des Traynor, who was non-executive chairman of Roadstone holding company CRH plc, carried on a secretive private banking system that funded Mr Haughey.
