A former cathaoirleach of Meath County Council "recklessly" breached ethics rules, the Standards In Public Office Commission (Sipo) has found.

A complaint against former Fianna Fáil Meath county councillor Tommy Reilly led to a two-day hearing which centered on a complaint that Mr Reilly's son Ciarán Reilly, had an interest in lands at Liscarton, Navan, Co Meath at a time when Tommy Reilly attended meetings in relation to their rezoning.
