Callelly in new expenses allegations

New allegations about the expense claims of Senator Ivor Callely have been published.

The Sunday Tribune claims the Senator was paid €87,000 in mileage during his term as junior minister between 2002 and 2004.

According to the report the Senator, who lived less than three miles from his office, claimed for the maximum mileage allowance of 5,000 miles per month over the two-year period.

It comes ahead of tomorrow's meeting of the Seanad Commitee on Members' Interests, which is investigating, in the case of Senator Callely, a complaint relating to mobile phone expenses.
