Property developer Tom Gilmartin has told the Mahon Tribunal that a former Fianna Fáil councillor asked him for £100,000 in exchange for his support for a planned shopping centre development.

Mr Gilmartin said Finbarr Hanrahan, a councillor in the Lucan area of Dublin, made the demand at a meeting in 1988 to discuss the developer’s planned Quarryvale scheme.
