Minister submitted donor’s name for chairmanship of North East Inner City group, a role to which he was then appointed
The use of a van owned by Mr Stone’s company for the postering was valued at €140. Mr Donohoe became aware of this in 2017 and, on Sunday evening, said he should have amended his election expenses then, saying it was a “clear oversight on my part, which I acknowledge and apologise for”.
The role is unpaid and done on a voluntary basis. Mr Donohoe said on Sunday he had never been involved in decisions regarding the operation of the board or any work that happens on it. As Minister for Public Expenditure, his department is associated with legislation and policy relating to Sipo. He has now recused himself from any ministerial duties relating to the body until the completion of any process regarding the complaint it has received.
