Findings against Redmond quashed

The Planning Tribunal has agreed at the High Court to withdraw findings of corruption and all other adverse findings made against former assistant Dublin City and County Manager George Redmond in its Third Interim Report of 2004.

A determination that Mr Redmond was not entitled to costs has also been withdrawn.

The development, announced yesterday to Mr Justice Paul Gilligan, comes after the tribunal told the Supreme Court last July it was no longer opposing Mr Redmond’s appeal against a 2012 court order halting his own action aimed at overturning the findings.
