Moriarty Tribunal hears evidence of meeting about second mobile licence

The Moriarty Tribunal has been hearing evidence about a meeting in 2002 between the Tribunal's lawyers and the Attorney General's Office about the issue of ownership of the State's second mobile phone licence.

Denis McFadden, an official at the Attorney General's Office, said he has no doubt that legal advice was given to the Department of Communications in 1996 that the mobile phone licence could be issued to Esat Digifone.
