Richardson challenges Mahon Tribunal findings

A challenge brought by businessman Des Richardson against a number of findings of the Mahon Tribunal including that he had failed to disclose the source of IR£39,000 held in a bank account has opened before the High Court today.
Mr Richardson, a fundraiser for Fianna Fáil, claims the Tribunal's findings are "wholly erroneous" on grounds including he was never asked during examination by counsel for the Tribunal to account for the origins of the funds in the account, known as the Roevin Account.
