Public Expenditure Minister Paschal Donohoe has confirmed that he will reappear in front of the Dáil at the “earliest possible opportunity” to make a statement on his 2016 election expenses.
However, he later told the Dáil that he was not available to make the statement on Thursday afternoon, meaning that the controversy will rumble into a new week.
It comes following criticism from the opposition that the Fine Gael TD did not answer all questions put to him on Wednesday evening.
