O’Reilly ‘yet to decide’ on reapplying for NTA board

The PR adviser caught up in a recent “not bad looking” appointments scandal has “yet to decide” whether to re-apply for her state board position.

Valerie O’Reilly, the former PR adviser to Independent TD Michael Lowry, said she is examining her options after her term on the board of the National Transport Authority ran out on Sunday.

The Unicorn PR executive was at the centre of a major appointments controversy in January after Mr Lowry asked Taoiseach Enda Kenny to reappoint her as she is “bright, intelligent, and not bad looking either”.
