Lucinda Creighton denies paranoia over ‘cheap shot Fine Gael smear campaign’

Renua Leader Lucinda Creighton has denounced what she called a “cheap shot and pathetic attempt to smear” her after an anonymous complaint was made about her to the Standards In Public Office.

Ms Creighton, who is a former Fine Gael minister strongly dismissed allegations made against her which were featured in yesterday’s Sunday Independent.

The anonymous complaint centres on what has been described “benefit in kind” relating to legal fees.
