Dunlop fails to explain discrepancies in tribunal evidence

Former political lobbyist Frank Dunlop has told the Mahon Tribunal that he cannot explain discrepancies in his evidence about the alleged bribery of Dublin county councillors in the early 1990s.

Mr Dunlop told the tribunal yesterday that he had paid IR£11,000 to nine councillors to secure their support for the rezoning of land in Ballycullen, near Tallaght, owned by developer Christopher Jones.
