Ahern: Cullen to keep his job

Taoiseach Bertie Ahern said tonight that Minister for Transport Martin Cullen’s future in the Cabinet is secure for now after a civil servant’s report cleared him of any wrongdoing.

The findings of ex-Revenue chief Dermot Quigley’s into Cullen’s awarding lucrative PR contracts in two Government departments to a political supporter warned some matters left him open to perceptions of impropriety.
