Gilmartin says Flynn requested payments for FF

Property developer Tom Gilmartin has told the Mahon Tribunal that former Government minister Padraig Flynn asked him and a business partner to make substantial donations to Fianna Fáil during a meeting in 1989.

Mr Gilmartin told the tribunal that the then Environment Minister told him the donations would help curb the activities of people seeking to frustrate his planned Quarryvale development in west Dublin.
