Fianna Fáil TD Eamon Ó Cuív’s visit to criminal Jonathan Dowdall is a “matter for the deputy”, a spokesperson for the Taoiseach has said.
He also said that he was not aware of Micheál Martin having a conversation with the TD about the visit.
As revealed in the Irish Mirror, Mr Ó Cuív, 72, visited Dowdall in the final weeks of his eight-year sentence for falsely detaining a businessman and waterboarding him in his house.
