Businessman 'used FF whip to apply for planning', court hears

A prominent businessman has told the George Redmond corruption trial that he used the Fianna Fáil chief whip on Dublin County Council, the late Mr Patrick Dunne, to assist him in planning matters.

Mr Robert (Pino) Harris, who owns a truck distribution business, said at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court that the deceased Councillor Dunne would "do all the planning for us".
