SCANNAL – Ivor Callely
TX: 5th Oct 2015 RTÉ One 19.30hrs
S’é scéal Ivor Callely ceann dosna scannalacha polaitíochta móra na linne – Cuireadh príosún air i ndiaidh dhá bhliain s’ fiche san Oireachtas de bharr é a éileamh calaoiseach ar chostaisí fón póca. Críoch náireach do shaothar pholaitiúl uailmhianach.
Even as Irish scandals go – Ivor Callely’s stands out – after 22 year in the Oireachtas, he was jailed for fraudulently claiming mobile phone expenses. A shameful end to an ambitious, if ever controversial, political career.
