Mitchell 'pleased' as FG exonerates her of wrong-doing after Mahon report

Fine Gael TD Olivia Mitchell has welcomed the findings of a party disciplinary committee which exonerated her after criticism in the Mahon Tribunal report of an "inappropriate" £500 donation she received from lobbyist Frank Dunlop.

Another Fine Gael member, Councillor Therese Ridge, has had the whip removed from her.
