Public Expenditure Minister Paschal Donohoe has unearthed fresh issues with his 2020 general election expenses.

It came after a tumultuous week for Mr Donohoe over his 2016 declarations, having to apologise after he failed to declare a payment of €1,057 made to workers who put up his election posters in 2016.
