Judge's refusal to require Dunlop to testify overturned

The High Court has today overturned a judge's refusal to require former Government press secretary Frank Dunlop to provide sworn testimony for the purpose of criminal proceedings against businessman Jim Kennedy.

Mr Kennedy, Cormorant Quay, Gibraltar, has denied 16 charges, including he gave sums of money to certain politicians as an inducement or reward for voting in favour of motions to rezone certain lands at Carrickmines, Co Dublin, in 1992 and 1997.
