Telenor boss gives evidence at Moriarty

The chairman of the Norwegian telecommunications company Telenor has been telling the Moriarty Tribunal about a request by businessman Denis O’Brien for them to make a political donation to the Fine Gael party on his behalf.

Arve Johannson said Mr O’Brien told him he did not want to make a personal donation of $50,000 because of a fuss in the Irish media.
