Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Coveney says that Phil Hogan should be given "due process" following his attendance at the golf society dinner whilst admitting that if the Commissioner cannot adequately explain his movements in to and out of Kildare his position will be "in difficulty."

In an interview with the Opinion Line, on Cork's 96FM, Minister Coveney said whilst he was "furious" about what occurred in Galway he would like to read Mr Hogan's explanations of why he was in and out of Kildare.
