Tánaiste Micheál Martin has said that Damien English did the “right thing” by resigning his position over his failure to declare his property interests properly.
However, he said he was “not vindictive” and would not call for the Fine Gael TD to resign his Dáil seat over the controversy.
Mr English resigned as Minister of State at the Department of Enterprise over his failure to declare ownership of a property when applying for planning permission for another Meath home.
