Moriarty Tribunal brands rent deal 'profoundly corrupt'

An inquiry into payments to politicians has branded a rent deal linked to an Independent TD and businessman Ben Dunne as "profoundly corrupt".

The Moriarty Tribunal found that Michael Lowry sought to influence a hike in the lease for Marlborough House in Dublin - home to Telecom Éireann in the 1990s - following a request from Mr Dunne.
