Morrissey ‘was offered £30,000 bribe’

GOVERNMENT Senator Tom Morrissey yesterday told the Mahon planning tribunal he was offered a £30,000 bribe for his vote.

“It was made by an individual,” said Mr Morrissey, who was nominated by Taoiseach Bertie Ahern as a PD senator in 2002.

He handed in a written note on being requested to name the individual, the project involved and the approximate time the inducement was offered.
