Fine Gael leader demands full apology over expenses
The Ceann Comhairle yesterday admitted that some of his expenses claims on lavish travel and luxury hotel rooms “appeared high”, but that they were legitimate.
In his first public comments since the controversy emerged almost two months ago, the chairman of the Dáil and Fianna Fáil Kerry South Deputy said: “I sincerely regret the costs that were incurred in so far as they were high and paid on my account.”
