The businessman and property developer gave evidence alleging he gave a large cheque to former Fianna Fáil TD Pádraig Flynn when trying to develop a shopping centre.
Young Dublin Fianna Fáil councillor Paul McAuliffe says the corruption revealed in the Mahon report makes it difficult to repair public’s trust in politics.
Everybody’s talking about Pat Kenny leaving RTÉ, a newly-published chapter from the Mahon report and a man jailed for the manslaughter of Melanie McCarthy McNamara.

INFORMATION ON IRELAND’S Covid-19 vaccine rollout often comes from Health Minister Stephen Donnelly, but there have been calls to instead put in place a Vaccine Minister.
Fine Gael MEP and former Tánaiste Frances Fitzgerald said there should be a separate minister in charge of the rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine.
Labour leader Alan Kelly has previously called for a minister to be put solely in charge of the vaccine rollout, speaking about it in the Dáil and on the radio.
