O’Brien: tribunal is concealing information

MULTI-MILLIONAIRE businessman Denis O’Brien has accused the Moriarty Tribunal of deliberately concealing information which would have been beneficial to his case.

This comes in the wake of the decision by chairman Justice Michael Moriarty not to call economist Dr Peter Bacon as a witness in relation to the awarding of the State’s second mobile phone licence to Esat Digifone.

He had been employed by the tribunal at an estimated cost of €100,000 to draft a report in relation to how the competition for the licence had been conducted.
