Dunlop: Wild horses won’t make me reveal name

FORMER lobbyist Frank Dunlop told the Mahon Tribunal yesterday “wild horses” would not make him reveal the identity of a man he met in Dublin’s Davenport Hotel eight years ago.

An entry in Mr Dunlop’s diary for February 17, 2000, listed him meeting with Colm Allen SC — Mr Dunlop’s lawyer at the time — and somebody called “ANO”.

Pressed to identify the person at the meeting, Mr Dunlop told tribunal lawyer Patricia Dillon SC: “Wild horses wouldn’t get me to tell you who that was.”
