O'Brien back in box at Moriarty Tribunal

Millionaire businessman Denis O’Brien has returned to the witness box at the Moriarty Tribunal in Dublin.

The former chairman of ESAT is facing further questions about alleged payments to former Communications Minister Michael Lowry in connection with the awarding of Ireland’s second mobile phone licence in 1995. These alleged payments include a $50,000 donation to Fine Gael in December 1995 and an alleged deposit of £147,000 in 1996 to one of Mr Lowry’s bank accounts in the Isle of Man.
