Liam Lawlor's widow loses High Court Mahon challenge

The High Court has dismissed an application by the widow of the late TD Liam Lawlor to prevent the Mahon tribunal making serious findings of misconduct against either herself and her husband unless proven beyond reasonable doubt.

Today Mr Justice Roderick Murphy also dismissed Mrs Lawlor's application to the court to require the tribunal to fund "effective" legal representation for her before it.
