Naughton recuses herself from ‘vote-gate’ probe after admitting voting for colleagues

A Government TD has recused herself from the investigation into voting irregularities in the Dáil after admitting she did the same thing.

Hildegarde Naughton, chair of the Members’ Interests Committee, released a statement on Wednesday saying that she would not be able to take part the investigation into the controversy, as she too had voted for colleagues in the Dail on “less than a handful of occasions”.
