A LABOUR councillor has denied influencing a redevelopment plan for Dublin city in order to increase his and his family’s interests in an office block in a prime location in the capital.

Councillor denies influencing city plan

Cllr Oisin Quinn appeared before the state’s ethics watchdog yesterday on accusations that he ultimately refrained from voting on parts of the plan — despite declaring his interests in the four-storey property.

The Standards in Public Office Commission (SIPO) heard 14 alleged contraventions of local government legislation levelled against the barrister and elected representative. Mr Quinn has one sixth of a share in an office block at 84 to 93 Lower Mount St, Dublin, the rest of which is owned by his siblings.
