Dunlop insists Cosgrave accepted bribes

Former political lobbyist Frank Dunlop has insisted that he paid bribes to former Fine Gael TD Liam Cosgrave in return for his vote on rezoning motions relating to land in Carrickmines, Co Dublin.

Mr Dunlop told the Flood Tribunal today that he gave two separate cash payments of £2,500 each to Mr Cosgrave in October and December 1997.
