The Mahon planning tribunal was granted two injunctions by the Supreme Court yesterday which restrains the Sunday Business Post newspaper from publishing documents which the tribunal had circulated to a limited number of persons with the direction that they remain confidential in advance of a public hearing.

Yesterday's Supreme Court order applies pending the outcome of an appeal by the tribunal against a High Court decision on Tuesday last refusing the tribunal's claim for a perpetual injunction barring publication of the material.

A date for the hearing of the appeal has not yet been set.
