Developer warned over evidence

PROPERTY developer Paul Monahan was warned yesterday he faces High Court proceedings arising from his evidence to the Mahon Tribunal.

Tribunal chairman Judge Alan Mahon issued the threat after he accused Mr Monahan, managing director of Monarch Properties group, of giving evasive answers during his examination yesterday.

It also emerged that Monarch shredded nearly half a ton of documents in September 2000 — three months after Frank Dunlop, a Monarch lobbyist, publicly claimed he paid to politicians to secure rezoning of Monarch lands.
