Travel costs exposé adds to Callely’s list of woes

SENATOR Ivor Callely has been tripped up over a number of controversial misunderstandings since he entered politics.

The latest revelation that the Dublin North senator claimed €81,015 in travel costs from his West Cork home has only added to his woes. Last July gardaí questioned Mr Callely after his yacht was involved in a hit and run with other boats at Baltimore.

His boat Serendipity II reportedly collided with two vessels and caused €40,000 worth of damage. When he was tracked down, he helped with inquiries and passed on his insurance details.
