Fine Gael TD Damien English is under increasing pressure to give a full account of his actions that have "damaged public trust in politicians" after more revelations were made about his property interests.

Mr English resigned as the minister of State at the Department of Enterprise this week after it emerged he did not disclose that he already owned a house in Castlemartin, Co Meath, when making a planning application to build a one-off rural home in Cookstown, Kells.
