The Minister for Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht Catherine Martin has called on the Minister for Agriculture Barry Cowen to provide “more clarity” with regard to his drink-driving conviction.

There were “more questions” which had arisen since his statement in the Dáil last week and “more clarity” was needed, she said before she could take a position on the issue.
