Gilmartin ‘wanted Lawlor involved in Bachelor’s Walk scheme’

The Mahon Tribunal has heard claims that it was property developer Tom Gilmartin’s idea to hire former Fianna Fáil TD Liam Lawlor as a consultant on the proposed Bachelor’s Walk development in Dublin in the late 1980s.

Mr Gilmartin has previously told the tribunal that Mr Lawlor barged his way into the project and that he opposed the politician’s involvement.
