Martin: ‘No impropriety’ in donations from developer

FIANNA FÁIL leader Micheál Martin has insisted he has no questions to answer over political donations he received from property developer Owen O’Callaghan in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

“There never has been any suggestion of any impropriety or any issues surrounding the donations,” he told reporters at a press conference yesterday.

He dismissed recent coverage of the donations as an “attempt to muddy the waters,” and insisted he had given a full and frank account of the monies involved to the Planning Tribunal.
