FF senator expenses probe gets green light

Mr Justice Gerard Hogan yesterday dismissed on all grounds a challenge by Mr Ó Domhnaill to the Standards in Public Office Commission investigation concerning travel and subsistence claims made by him between 2006 and 2007, when he was a member of Donegal County Council.
The Commission was due to begin a public session concerning the expenses matter in June but that did not proceed after Mr O Donhnaill secured leave days earlier to bring a challenge.
