Tribunal defence has cost €9m: O’Brien
The telecoms tycoon expressed anger at the vast expenses he was forced to incur to defend his reputation at the long-running inquiry which, he noted, had itself cost an estimated €200m to date.
Mr O’Brien questioned the purpose of such lengthy proceedings when he reminded tribunal chairman, Mr Justice Michael Moriarty, that it was established in September 1997 as a matter of urgent public importance.
