Callely expense claims cause intense anger

REPORTS that Senator Ivor Callely has been paid more than €80,000 since 2007 in respect of travel expenses from an address in west Cork to Leinster House is a further example of the greedy behaviour that vexes voters so intensely that it cost Peter Robinson and many other outgoing MPs their parliamentary seats in the recent British general election.

The Oireachtas website lists Callely’s home address as being on St Lawrence Road, Clontarf, Dublin. The public telephone directory lists his telephone number at this address.

His name is also listed on the current register of electors at this address, which is within walking distance of Leinster House.
