The final report of the Mahon tribunal into planning matters is expected within three months, a spokesman for the Minister for the Environment has indicated.
“The Minister is anxious to see it published as soon as possible and hopefully it will be out before the end of the year,” the spokesman said yesterday.
The tribunal was established in 1997 and has held more than 900 days of public sittings. It is expected to be critical of former taoiseach Bertie Ahern.
