  • The Tribunal of Inquiry into Certain Planning Matters and Payments commonly known as the Mahon Tribunal after the name of its last chairman, was a public inquiry in Ireland established by Dáil Éireann in 1997 to investigate allegations of corrupt payments to politicians regarding political decisions. It mostly investigated planning permissions and land rezoning issues in the 1990s in the Dublin County Council area. Judge Alan Mahon was the final chair of the tribunal and its other members were Judge Mary Faherty and Judge Gerald Keys. The original Chairman, who was the sole member until just before his retirement, was Judge Feargus Flood, giving rise to the original common name of the Flood Tribunal. Using investigations to collect evidence and public hearings with witnesses, it investigated allegations made in the media prior to its establishment and allegations subsequently made to the tribunal itself. The tribunal ran from November 1997 to March 2012 and was the longest running and most expensive public inquiry held in the Republic of Ireland, with costs forecast to reach between €250 million and €300 million. Public hearings concluded in September 2008, and following several delays due to legal challenges, the tribunal began preparing its final report. It published four interim reports, and the final report was published on 22 March 2012. On 2 April 2008, then-Taoiseach Bertie Ahern resigned due to continuing controversy over the payments. (en)
  • Bunaíodh an Binse Fiosraithe um Ábhair Phleanála agus Íocaíochtaí Áirithe le cúrsaí pleanála i mBaile Átha Cliath a fhiosrú sna 1990idí. Bhunaigh an Dáil an Binse sin sa bhliain 1997; thosaigh imeachtaí an Bhinse ar 4 Samhain 1997; agus tháinig tuarascáil eatramhach amach sa bhliain 2002. D’eisigh sé a chúigiú tuarascáil, arb í a thuarascáil deiridh í, i Márta 2012 agus tháinig deireadh leis ar 22 Márta 2012. Is é an breitheamh a bhí i gceannas ar an mBinse ón bhliain 2000 ar aghaidh agus is é Binse Fiosraithe Mahon a thugtar air go hiondúil (nó Binse Mahon). Tháinig an Breitheamh Mahon i gcomharbacht ar an mbreitheamh Feargus Flood, nuair a d'éirigh Flood as sa bhliain 2000 (chuaigh sé ar scor). Tugadh Binse Fiosraithe Flood air i rith an tréimhse Flood (nó Binse Flood). (ga)
