Flood report accuses Ray Burke of corruption

The interim report of the Flood Tribunal has concluded that former Fianna Fail TD Ray Burke was engaged in corrupt activity while serving as a Government minister in the late 1980s.

The report is littered with references to corruption, particularly in relation to the sale of Mr Burke’s home, the handling of the Century Radio licence and the way construction firm JMSE paid money to the former minister expecting favours in return.
