On Friday the Irish Examiner revealed that Mr Troy had failed for nine months to register the rental of his former home in Westmeath with the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB), a legal requirement.

The Taoiseach has again expressed confidence in junior minister Robert Troy, and said it is “disproportionate” to compare his situation with that of sacked ministers Dara Calleary and Barry Cowen.

Mr Troy has faced a slew of stories over the past fortnight regarding his incomplete declarations of assets.
