Redmond cannot sue tribunal over corruption findings against him

Former assistant Dublin city and county manager George Redmond cannot sue the planning tribunal over corruption findings it made against him, the High Court has ruled.

However, he can challenge the refusal of the Flood/Mahon Tribunal to refuse him his legal costs of being represented, Mr Justice Paul Gilligan said.

The judge ruled a six-year delay by Mr Redmond in pursuing his civil action against the tribunal was inordinate and inexcusable. Last January, the tribunal asked the High Court to dismiss his case over the delay.
