Cosgrave lawyer says Flood Tribunal should stand down

A lawyer representing former Fine Gael Senator Liam Cosgrave has said the Flood Tribunal should stand down because it has been tainted by evidence from former political lobbyist Frank Dunlop.

Mr Dunlop has told the tribunal that he paid bribes to several councillors, including Mr Cosgrave, in return for their votes on rezoning motions relating to lands at Carrickmines in south Dublin.
