Lawlor referred to DPP for alleged perjury

The Planning Tribunal has announced its intention to refer former Fianna Fáil TD Liam Lawlor to the Director of Public Prosecutions for allegedly perjuring himself earlier this year.

The tribunal said today that it had decided not to refer Mr Lawlor to the High Court for failing to co-operate with its investigations because he had, albeit belatedly, handed over thousands of documents in July.
