Stephen Donnelly yesterday claimed failing to register a rental property in 2019 was the only mistake in his declarations “to the best of my knowledge”.
The Minister for Health also said he will not consider his position after fellow Fianna Fail minister Robert Troy resigned last week over errors in declaring his interests. Mr Donnelly failed to register the property in Sandyford, Dublin, with the Residential Tenancies Board in 2019 though it was in 2011 and renewed in 2015, and is currently registered.
He said he only realised the property was not registered with the RTB after details of Mr Troy’s errors emerged. It is an offence to fail to register a tenancy with the RTB within one month of the tenancy commencing.
