The third interim report of the Flood Tribunal has been sent to the Dáil.
The Clerk of Dáil Éireann, Mr Kieran Coughlan is this evening considering whether to apply to the High Court for a direction regarding the publication of the report. Mr Coughlan must consider whether publication would prejudice court proceedings.
The third report deals with testimony given by former assistant Dublin city and county manager, George Redmond (79), who was jailed for a year recently on planning corruption charges.
The report, which is expected to be highly critical of him is expected to be sent to him in prison.
The report is primarily the work of Mr Justice Fergus Flood who has now been succeeded as chair of the tribunal by Judge Alan Mahon. Legal proceedings against Redmond held up its release.
The tribunal took evidence from Redmond in 1999 where he told Mr justice Flood about large sums of money he received from developers and other business people.
He told the tribunal much of the proceeds where held in an assotrment of bank accounts, often under assumed names. He also retained large sums of cash in his home.
The tribunal, now chaired by Judge Alan Mahon, is to resume hearings next week.
