Dublin North East Labour TD, Sean Kenny, today called on the DPP to consider the Mahon Tribunal (Chapter 9) findings on the controversial 1993 Baldoyle lands rezoning.

"The Tribunal has found that Mr. Frank Dunlop paid six Councillors sums of IR£1000 for their support for the 1993 Baldoyle lands rezoning motions. Another Councillor received a payment of £IR1000 from Mr. Dunlop, at that time, which the Councillor told the Mahon Tribunal was a donation to his January 1993 Senate campaign."

"These developer driven unnecessary land rezonings eventually led to the property bubble a decade later. The estates built on the rezoned Baldoyle lands are now unfinished, are infected with pyrite, with homeowners struggling with mortgage payments and negative equity."
