O’Brien defiant as TD denies files stolen

Billionaire tycoon Denis O’Brien should reveal his business arrangements with IBRC to end an escalating “constitutional crisis” over Dáil privilege, opposition leaders have said.

The call came as Independent TD Catherine Murphy rejected Mr O’Brien’s claim that she had used stolen and altered documents when making allegations about the businessman in the Dáil.

Ms Murphy insisted her sources were solid as she challenged Mr O’Brien to publish his documents if he believed hers were altered and wrong.
