Aer Rianta ordered to publish drink-and-cigars report

The Department of Transport has written to Aer Rianta demanding that it publish the findings of its inquiry into the drink-and-cigars incident by the close of business today.

Yesterday, the state-owned company said its report into allegations that Transport Minister Seamus Brennan has failed to pay £5,000 owed to it for more than a decade would not be completed until next week.
