Mahon Tribunal ‘will not proceed with inquiries’

THE Mahon Tribunal has agreed not to proceed, pending the hearing of a legal appeal next month, with further inquiries into allegations made against Cork property developer Owen O’Callaghan by developer Tom Gilmartin.

The Supreme Court will hear on January 23 next Mr O’Callaghan’s appeal against the High Court’s refusal last October to prevent the Mahon Tribunal carrying out those further inquiries in its Quarryvale Two module.

The tribunal yesterday agreed not to carry out those inquiries until that appeal has been heard by the court.
