CRH chief ‘oblivious’ to Haughey ties

FORMER CRH chief executive Tony Barry told the Moriarty Tribunal yesterday he was oblivious of the financial relationship between the group’s deceased chairman, Des Traynor, and former Taoiseach Charles Haughey.

“I was never aware of it,” Mr Barry told tribunal lawyer John Coughlan SC.

“To my knowledge, no-one ever mentioned it — in that connection.”
