Callely controversy deepens as ethics watchdogs probe his property interests

IVOR CALLELY was embroiled in fresh controversy last night as ethics watchdogs launched a probe centred on his property empire.

The Seanad’s Members’ Interests Committee moved to investigate a complaint claiming Mr Callely failed to declare all his business interests to the Oireachtas authorities.

The embattled senator has been given a month to respond in detail to the allegations he did not reveal his interest in a number of properties on the annual register Oireachtas members must fill out.
