Dáil's ethics committee finds it can't investigate attendance of former Cork Fine Gael TD Dara Murphy
The Dáil's ethics committee has found it can't investigate the attendance of former Cork Fine Gael TD Dara Murphy.
It had been asked by Fianna Fáil to look into the poor attendance record of Mr Murphy over the past two years.
However the committee said its remit does not extend to former TDs, with Dara Murphy resigning earlier this month.
The ethics committee also delayed a decision on potential sanctions for votegate TDs Niall Collins and Timmy Dooley until the new year.
Fianna Fáil's Lisa Chambers is to be given a warning for voting on behalf of colleague Dara Calleary, something she said was an honest mistake.
