Developer Owen O'Callaghan has told the Mahon Tribunal that records of meetings with an AIB official were slanted to exclude references to a proposed national stadium.
Mr O'Callaghan said the bank official concerned did not want to get involved in the project.
He insisted that he told his then partner Tom Gilmartin of a proposal to build a national stadium at Neilstown.
The tribunal has already heard that this site was originally zoned for west Dublin's town centre and that finding an alternative plan for it would ensure the transfer of zoning to Quarryvale.
Mr O'Callaghan also said he told AIB official Michael O'Farrell that he had informed Mr Gilmartin.
But Patricia Dillon SC said this was not recorded in two separate memos of meetings in 1992.
Mr O'Callaghan said this was a bank slant and that any time the stadium project was mentioned Mr O'Farrell pushed it away and did not want to get involved.
Ms Dillon pointed out that in one memo Mr O'Farrell said that Mr O'Callaghan's zoning strategy in relation to the stadium was sound.
Mr O'Callaghan said that was what Mr O'Farrell was saying to his superiors, not to him.
