Government investigation into protection money scandal must extend to all councils, says TD

The politician who first raised the Dublin City Council protection money scandal is insisting that the local authority's bosses must immediately explain if they knew about the payments - and is urging the Government to examine all councils across Ireland.

Sinn Féin TD, Aengus Ó Snodaigh, said clarity on the issues is necessary as he hit out at the Government's "limited" response to what has happened to date.
