Taoiseach Micheál Martin has left the door open for former Agriculture Minister and Golfgate casualty, Dara Calleary, to make a return to Cabinet in the future.
On Thursday, all charges in the ‘Golfgate’ trial over the Oireachtas Golf Society event in August 2020 were dismissed in court.
Speaking to reporters at Dublin Castle on Friday, Mr Martin said Dara Calleary paid a “very heavy price” but said his resignation “ensured the continuation of trust” between the Government and the public at a difficult time when Government has brought in tough Covid-19 restrictions.
