Burke to face further grilling

Former Justice Minister Ray Burke returns to the witness stand this morning to continue giving evidence at the Flood Tribunal.

Mr Burke is expected to face further questioning about a number of off-shore bank accounts he operated in the Isle of Man, London, and the Channel Islands.

The inquiry heard last week that Deputy Burke threatened the political future of a Fianna Fail councillor after a bag of money was presented in the then-Minister's office in 1986 - an allegation denied by Mr Burke.
