Labour to honour members who said no to corruption

Labour will this weekend pay tribute to its councillors and party members who ignored corrupt bribes during the 1980s and 1990s and which were exposed by the Mahon Tribunal.

The party will use its Galway conference to present the Larkin Thirst for Justice award to former party councillor Frank Buckley, who was group leader in Dublin County Council during the period.

However, the award is also recognition of those who steered clear of corrupt planning during the period, including former councillors Joan Burton, Eamon Gilmore, Eamon Tuffy, and Sean Ryan among others.
