Brennan cleared of claims he dodged £5,000 brandy, cigar bill
Mr Brennan ordered full publication of the first inquiry report by Transport Department secretary general Julie O'Neill. The report stated that she had found no documentary, or other, evidence which might relate to an incident referred to in an article in last week's Sunday Independent.
A separate inquiry by the airport management company Aer Rianta, which was alleged to have been left with the bill almost 12 years ago, also reached a similar conclusion. Aer Rianta chairman Noel Hanlon said inquiries by the company secretary and internal auditor had found no evidence to substantiate the claims.
