Former Fine Gael junior Minister Mary Flaherty has said she failed to reveal donations to a party inquiry because she was told they were outside its terms of reference.
Ms Flaherty also told the Mahon Tribunal that she made representations to party colleagues on behalf of Monarch Properties after receiving a number of political donations from them.
Mary Flaherty said she received between £300 and £1,500 at a time from Monarch for at least seven local and national elections, as well as donations to the party.
And she agreed to a request from a Monarch executive to contact FG councillors about the proposed Cherrywood development in South Dublin.
But she said she was careful not to try to influence any planning decision and only told colleagues that Monarch had honoured its community commitments when developing the Janelle Shopping centre in Finglas.
Former Fianna Fáil junior minister Chris Flood earlier told the Tribunal he was offered an inducement as a councillor by developers on one occasion.
He also told the tribunal that the planning process in Dublin County Council during the 1990s was 'chaotic' and 'a bit unseemly'.
Mr Flood said he told the inquiry during a private interview how two developers told him there 'might be something in it' for him if a particular development went through.
He also said Dublin County Council headquarters would be full of developers, lobbyists and landowners who would accost councillors during planning votes.
He denied that Fianna Fáil would apply a whip to support re-zonings but said it could appear that way as party councillors would often go in a particular direction after debating in the upstairs section of Conways pub nearby.
Mr Flood said he knew lobbyist Frank Dunlop to see but not to talk to.
He also admitted getting donations totalling £600 from Monarch Properties but did not vote on the Cherrywood rezoning in south Co Dublin.
