Tribunal to rule on Gogarty costs claim

The Planning Tribunal is due to rule this week on whether the State should pay €3.5m in costs to James Gogarty, the businessman whose corruption allegations were at the centre of the inquiry's early work.

Mr Gogarty, whose allegations of bribery against former government minister Ray Burke were vindicated by the tribunal, is one of 10 parties seeking costs from the inquiry this week.
