O’Brien ramps up attack on tribunal

A FRUSTRATED Denis O’Brien upped his attack on the Moriarty Tribunal by declaring that hundreds of thousands of documents had been concealed from legal teams and insisted that lawyers for the inquiry needed to be sanctioned.

The billionaire businessman welcomed a statement this week by tribunal chair Justice Michael Moriarty that the inquiry’s final report would be based on evidence and not hearsay.

But Mr O’Brien argued that developments in recent days proved the provisional findings of the tribunal needed to be scrapped.
