O’Brien claims tribunal suppressed vital information

BILLIONAIRE businessman Denis O’Brien has attacked the Moriarty Tribunal accusing it of deliberately suppressing vital information.

Calling for an immediate public statement from its chairman the telecoms and media tycoon has claimed statements “kept secret” by the tribunal for eights years completely undermine allegations by the inquiry against him as well as other civil servants.

The tribunal, which is examining dealings around the awarding of the state’s second mobile phone licence, will hear from a further witnesses tomorrow.
