Mr Liam Lawlor told the High Court today that he has made full discovery of his financial documents to the Flood tribunal.
Making a submission to Mr Justice Symth, counsel for Mr Lawlor, Mr John Trainor SC, said his client had given the tribunal 68 sworn affidavits of discovery, contacted 272 separate parties forinformation, which, amounted to more than 22,000 pages of documentation.
He said that it was Mr Lawlor’s case that "there were no more documents".
Mr Trainor told the court that Mr Lawlor had previously misconstrued his obligation for discovery to the tribunal. Mr Trainor said his client had since realised that the tribunal can conduct its inquiries on a wide focus.
Earlier lawyers for the Flood tribunal did not accept claims made by Mr Lawlor in affidavits that he had no connection with Mr Larry Goodman in a land deal close to Mr Lawlor’s home in Lucan, Co Dublin.
The Flood tribunal claimed Mr Lawlor and Mr Goodman were involved in a property deal of 55 acres at Coolamber, Lucan, opposite Mr Lawlor's home on Newcastle Road.
It was also claimed today there was no documentation in folders produced by Mr Lawlor in discovery in relation to those matters.
The High Court has ordered Mr Lawlor to provide all the necessary documents to the Flood tribunal.
Mr Lawlor claims he has compiled with the order. But if Mr Justice Smyth finds, as claimed by the tribunal lawyers, that he has not done so, the former Fianna Fail TD could face another jail term.
He has already served one week of a three-month sentence - with the suspension of the remainder conditional on Mr Lawlor complying with the tribunal's request for documentation.
The case continues tomorrow.
