The Mahon Tribunal - Corruption in Irish Politics

In this week’s episode the team explain and discuss the functions of tribunals. How do they differ from regular courts of law? What protection is afforded to those who are the subjects of a tribunal’s inquiry? Pierce, Gavin, and Alex share their thoughts on these questions and more by looking at one of the longest running and most expensive legal exercises in the history of the State: The Tribunal of Inquiry into Certain Planning Matters and Payments, more commonly known as ‘The Mahon Tribunal’. How corrupt were successive Fianna Fail governments in their handling of the country’s planning regime? Who were the key players? Which of them were hung out to dry and which of them escaped the long arm of the law? Tune into the latest episode from Legally Fond to find out.
