Quinn's intervention saw Cowen grant right-of-way, tribunal told
Minister for Finance Brian Cowen today told a planning tribunal he granted a private company right-of-way across state lands after an intervention from former Labour leader Ruairí Quinn.
Mr Cowen was Minister for Transport when he changed departmental policy to give Cargobridge Ltd access through the lands at Cloghran, between Dublin Airport and the M1 motorway.
