A spokesman for Minister of State for Local Government has called on Dublin City Council's Chief Executive Owen Keegan to clarify comments he made which suggested a major energy firm was set up on foot of a forged signature.
Mr Keegan has been silent since Dublin Live reported on the "extraordinary" comments he made during a conference celebrating 50 years of Irish membership to the EU on Tuesday last week. The remarks suggest the executive of the council had decided against the proposal to form the agency before a "very enthusiastic" former council staff member "forged the city manager's signature".
The events allegedly took place in the mid-90s. Mr Keegan recounted the "funny story about the CODEMA" In the Oak Room of the Mansion House last week.
