O'Callaghan: FG councillor sought bribe

Property developer Owen O'Callaghan has accused the late Fine Gael Councillor Tom Hand of seeking £250,000 punt in return for planning favours.

Giving evidence to the Mahon Tribunal today, Mr O'Callaghan said Mr Hand asked for the money in return for his vote on a re-zoning motion at Quarryvale in west Dublin, where the Liffey Valley Shopping Centre was later built.
