Irish Independent Story here

- The Gardaí, Politicians, Judiciary, Clergy, Banks, State Bodies all have ample evidence of significant levels of corruption but isn't it especially telling about the state of our State when the Chairman of a Tribunal set up to examine instances of corruption is found to be acting in this manner?

THE Supreme Court has made a searing censure of former planning tribunal chairman Mr Justice Feargus Flood in a landmark judgment yesterday.

The withering attack on Mr Justice Flood's competence as a tribunal chairman came as the court overturned his decision to refuse two businessmen their legal costs, estimated to run to millions of euro.

Mr Justice Adrian Hardiman said that material relevant to the credibility of the key witness James Gogarty, the pensioner who became a celebrity from the tribunal, was concealed.

Mr Justice Flood cut out serious allegations against prominent persons, including a politician, when he edited interviews and statements made by the late Mr Gogarty.

I think it would be pointless having a tribunal like this - Fianna Fail have already enusured their favourite Barristers, Solicitors Auctiooneers etc :mad: have years and years of lucrative work from NAMA.
