Opposition to keep up pressure on John O'Donoghue

Opposition politicians are expected to keep the pressure on Justice Minister John O’Donoghue today after his department was implicated in the scandal which led to the resignation of Junior Minister Bobby Molloy yesterday.

Justice Phillip O’Sullivan told reporters yesterday that he received two "improper" phone calls in relation to a rape case, one from an official in the Justice Department and one from a member of Mr Molloy’s staff.
