Ireland’s Housing Minister Darragh O’Brien has suggested that one of the possible reforms of ethics rules for politicians could be declaring accommodation “arrangements” TDs and senators have with local authorities.

It comes after it was revealed that junior minister Robert Troy had not correctly declared several properties on the Irish parliament’s official list of members’ interests in recent years.
