SENATOR MULLEN LODGES FORMAL COMPLAINT OVER COMMITTEE INVESTIGATION

Date Published: 10-Aug-2010

Galway native Senator Ronan Mullen has lodged a formal complaint to the Seanad's Select Committee over what he describes as its' vague and damaging statement'.

The committee is investigating separate complaints against four senators - including Ivor Callely.

Senator Mullen says he does not want his name 'lumped in' with other senators expenses investigation.

The Ahascragh native is being investigated for a statement he made, and not for his expenses, but he says the seanad committee did not make this clear.

Senator Mullen is still refusing to disclose who advised him to claim expenses from Galway instead of Dublin.
