Supreme Court grants stay to Kennedy
The Supreme Court has today granted businessman Jim Kennedy a stay, pending the determination by the Supreme Court of his appeal against the High Court's refusal to stop his trial for allegedly making corrupt payments in relation to the rezoning of lands in Co Dublin.
Mr Kennedy and ex-FG TD Liam Cosgrave sought orders from the High Court stopping their trials in connection with alleged corrupt payments in relation to rezoning of lands in Carrickmines owned by Jackson Way Properties at Carrickmines in 1992 and the successful rezoning of part of these lands in 1997.
