Cullen claims undeclared payment is above board

SPORTS Minister Martin Cullen has said an undeclared payment made to him by a business in his constituency was above board.

The accounts for Delaney’s Pharmacy in Johnstown, Waterford, listed a €1,240 donation to the Martin Cullen Fund prior to the 2007 general election.

This figure is almost twice the legal limit at which all TDs must file records with the Standards in Public Office Commission.
