Aer Rianta says it was not source of Brennan allegations

AER RIANTA last night rejected suggestions that it was the source of allegations that Transport Minister Séamus Brennan failed to pay a €6,000 brandy and cigar bill.

The state airport management company’s claims came as Taoiseach Bertie Ahern moved to speed up investigations into the allegations which were strongly rejected by Mr Brennan.

“Aer Rianta has no knowledge whatsoever of the origin of the allegations,” a company spokesman said.
