Dublin West TD Mr Liam Lawlor has told the High Court he is "an accused man" before the Flood tribunal. The tribunal has taken legal proceedings against Mr Lawlor over his failure to appear before it on October 7th. The tribunal obtained an order for the TD or his legal advisers to come before the court to explain his failure to attend, to hand over documents and records, and to give evidence in relation to these.
The documents relate to any accounts held by Mr Lawlor in any financial institution within or outside the State, either in his own name or jointly held, and into which he made lodgements of money or into which lodgements were made for his benefit.
