Latest: 'He made a mistake and apologised for it' - Independent Alliance members back Halligan
Independent Alliance colleagues Shane Ross, Finian McGrath, Sean Canney and Kevin 'Boxer' Moran have tonight expressed their full confidence in Minister of State John Halligan.
Minister Halligan has been facing calls to consider his position after it emerged today that a woman was asked by the Minister during a job interview if she was married and had children. The Workplace Relations Commission found that the woman was discriminated against.
