Fianna Fáil Senator hits out at 'smear campaign'

A Fianna Fáil Senator has today claimed that he is at the centre of a smear campaign, as allegations emerge of irregularities in expenses he claimed as a member of Donegal County Council.

Senator Brian O'Dohmnaill was responding to confirmation from the Council that its Ethics Registrar had received correspondence questioning expenses claimed by him when he was a member of the local authority in 2006 and 2007.
