O'Keefe guilty of breaching Ethics Act

The Dail’s Public Offices Commission has found Fianna Fail TD Ned O’Keefe guilty of breaching the Ethics in Public Office Act by failing to declare his family’s farming interests.

During a Dail debate on a proposal to ban the feeding of bonemeal to animals last year, Mr O’Keefe, who was Junior Agriculture Minister at the time, voted against the plan.
