€30m tribunal set to wind up after 10 years

AFTER nearly 10 years, the €30 million Moriarty Tribunal is winding up this year when its final report will be published.

The announcement was made yesterday when the tribunal resumed hearings in public — the first at Dublin Castle since May 2006.

Chairman Mr Justice Michael Moriarty said he had given an undertaking to the Government and the Oireachtas that the second part of his report would be finalised by the end of this calendar year. And he said he intended to honour that commitment.
