State to pay €5m Haughey bill
The State is to pay a €5m legal bill run up by the late Charles Haughey at the Moriarty Tribunal.
The tribunal found Mr Haughey took payments of €11.5m between 1979 and 1996 and granted favours in return.
It found that the scale and secrecy of the payments devalued the quality of a modern democracy.
His family disputed the findings.
The Irish Times reports this morning that the tribunal decided some months ago he is entitled to his costs.
