Richardson launches court challenge against findings of Mahon Tribunal

Businessman Des Richardson has brought a High Court challenge against a number of findings of the Mahon Tribunal including that he failed to disclose the source of IR£39,000 held in a bank account.
Mr Richardson, a fundraiser for Fianna Fail, claims the Tribunal's findings are wholly erroneous because at no stage during his examination by counsel for the Tribunal was he ever asked to account for the origins of the funds in the account, known as the Roevin Account.
