Senator: Taoiseach casino controversy must be clarified

GREEN PARTY senator Dan Boyle has said the casino controversy involving Taoiseach Bertie Ahern needs “to be clarified”.

He said the involvement of the state-owned National Lottery in the casino project, in particular, needed examination.

But in keeping with the Green Party position since it entered coalition with Fianna Fáil, Mr Boyle said they were matters for the tribunal to clarify — meaning they won’t seek answers from Mr Ahern.
