Fianna Fáil TD Barry Cowen has said that Paschal Donohoe should not be “hounded out of office” as he called for a mechanism to allow for political punishments like suspension or loss of pay.
The Public Expenditure Minister is facing significant pressure over the coming days ahead of his scheduled Dáil questions and answers session next Tuesday.
The opposition has called on Minister Donohoe to provide further information about his failure to declare expenses incurred during the 2016 General Election campaign.
