Taoiseach under pressure over alleged lobbying

The opposition is today pressuring the Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, to address allegations that a former advisor used his office to lobby Fianna Fail councillors over a rezoning application in north Dublin.

Paddy Duffy allegedly used the Taoiseach’s office to urge Fianna Fail councillors to support the rezoning in Santry in 1998.
