'This could be the end of my political chapter': Phil Hogan resigns over Golfgate

Phil Hogan tendered his resignation to Commission President Ursula von der Leyden this evening.

Phil Hogan has resigned as EU Commissioner following recent controversy about his involvement in the Oireachtas Golf Society Dinner and his movements around Ireland in the preceding days.

Mr Hogan tendered his resignation to Commission President Ursula von der Leyen this evening, just a day after furnishing her with a report on his movements around Ireland between July 31 and August 22, when he returned to Brussels.
