Callely claimed over €4,000 in false mobile phone expenses, court hears

The sentencing hearing of former junior minister Ivor Callely has heard he made over €4,000 from claiming false mobile phone expenses.

The 56-year-old, with an address at St Lawrence's Road, Clontarf, admits submitting fake invoices at Leinster House to back up the claims for handsets and car kits between 2007 and 2009 while he was a member of the Seanad.
