Callely lawyers argue court’s right to review findings

LAWYERS acting for Senator Ivor Callely have rejected claims by a Seanad Committee that the courts do not have the jurisdiction to hear his action.

Last July the Seanad Select Committee found the senator had misrepresented his normal place of residence in order to claim expenses.

Conleth Bradley SC, acting for the committee, said the courts cannot review the committee’s finding against Senator Callely.
