The Irish Government is bracing itself for more fallout from the Flood Tribunal the statutory inquiry set up to investigate political corruption in Ireland.
The Tribunal’s first report has already become a best seller. It found former Fianna Fail Minister Ray Burke to be “corrupt,” having accepted bribes from some of the country’s leading businessmen and property developers.
The damning report also found that one of the Taoiseach’s most trusted advisors, P.J. Mara, was found not to have co-operated with the inquiry in relation to funds he held in offshore accounts. As a result he was forced to resign as director of elections during the recent Nice campaign.
