Robert Troy has been under intense pressure in the past two weeks over issues surrounding his declaration of property assets, amongst other things.

Robert Troy has made the "right decision" in stepping down amid controversy over errors in his official declarations, a Green Party Minister has said.

Children's Minister Roderic O'Gorman has said the controversy surrounding Mr Troy was distracting from the work of Government in the lead-up to the budget.
