Disclosures Tribunal: Journalist Paul Willliams denies being negatively briefed about whilstleblower

Journalist Paul Williams has said he was "surprised" to be named in the Dáil as someone who had penalty points quashed and "did not know it was coming".

"I was surprised. I didn't know it was coming,” he told the Charleton Tribunal. “I had nothing to hide. It was in relation to a fixed penalty notice that had been done by the book. I had appealed," Mr Williams said.
