Gilmartin illness sees tribunal postponed

DUE to the illness of key witness Tom Gilmartin, the Mahon Tribunal has been forced to abandon the rest of this week’s sittings.

On Wednesday, the tribunal agreed to allow Mr Gilmartin to give his evidence for three hours each day because of his age and previous history of ill-health.

Mr Gilmartin began his testimony on the current inquiry module on Tuesday. He is now expected to spend the next month in the witness box.
