Fáilte Ireland board members will be hauled in front of Tourism Minister Catherine Martin tonight after a shock second resignation.

Former Penny's Chief Executive Breege O'Donoghue, who resigned on Tuesday night, did not disclose any foreign holidays to Fáilte Ireland in the wake of the chairman's resignation in August, despite being asked directly.
