Deasy to escape prosecution over smoking in Dáil bar
The Irish Examiner understands that the OTC has contacted the Waterford deputy in the past few weeks to inform him they will not be pursuing any action against him.
Mr Deasy could have been fined up to €3,000 for breaching the workplace smoking regulations, after he smoked a number of cigarettes in the Dáil bar last March. His action prompted Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny to sack him as the party's justice spokesman.
