Brennan confident reports will clear his name

Transport Minister Seamus Brennan has said he is confident that two reports into allegations that he has failed to pay back £5,000 owed to Aer Rianta for more than a decade will exonerate him of any wrongdoing.

Mr Brennan has already said that, to the best of his recollection, he did not ask Aer Rianta to buy him £5,000 worth of alcohol and cigars in the early 1990s.
