FF official told Reynolds of Gilmartin claim, says Tribunal

Former Fianna Fáil national organiser, Sean Sherwin, has told the Mahon Tribunal that he informed Albert Reynolds when he took over as party leader in 1992 that Tom Gilmartin claimed to have given £50,000 to Padraig Flynn.

Mr Sherwin has said although at the time he didn't believe the claim, it was his duty to inform Mr Reynolds as he expected him to consider appointed Padraig Flynn as a Minister.

Former Taoiseach Albert Reynolds is expected to give evidence to the inquiry this afternoon and has arrived at Dublin Castle.
