Liam Lawlor admits faking invoice

Former Fianna Fáil TD Liam Lawlor has revealed details of how he faked an invoice to hide a £100,000 cash payment he received in connection with the sale of an acre of land attached to his home in Lucan, west Dublin.

Mr Lawlor received the money from property developers Maplewood Homes three years ago. He admitted today that he got a secretary from the office of Seddon solicitors in Prague to type out an invoice on headed paper hiding the real reason for the payment.
