File on Callely sent to DPP

A POLITICAL ethics watchdog has sent a file on Ivor Callely to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) after investigations into irregular mobile phone claims.

The former Senator was accused of falsely claiming about €3,000 for mobile phone expenses for a company that had gone out of business and he faced a Garda inquiry as well as in-house probes.

He is accused of supplying invoices from the business even though it was not trading.
