Deasy interviewed over breach of Dáil bar smoking ban

HEALTH officers have interviewed former Fine Gael spokesperson on Justice and Waterford TD, John Deasy, about smoking in the Dáil members’ bar.

The Fine Gael deputy was questioned in an office in Leinster House for over half an hour yesterday morning.

Neither Deputy Deasy nor the Dublin South West Area Health Board would comment on the outcome of the meeting yesterday. A spokesperson for the health board would only say the investigation was ongoing and the board wasn’t in a position to comment further at present.
