Ahern's lawyer hits out at 'outlandish' corruption claims

Taoiseach Bertie Ahern’s lawyer today launched a withering attack on developer Tom Gilmartin by branding allegations of corruption outlandish, incredible and unfounded.

In a 30-minute address to the Mahon Tribunal as the Quarryvale II module began, Conor Maguire SC also hit out at the inquiry claiming its investigations into the Taoiseach’s personal and family affairs were intrusive.
