Minister Troy's apologised for errors made in the Oireachtas register of member interests.
Opposition parties are maintaining the pressure on Longford Westmeath Minister Robert Troy, over his failure to declare some details of his property interests.
They're demanding he make a statement in the Dail on the issue.
Minister Troy's apologised for errors made in the Oireachtas register of member interests.
Co-leader of the Social Democrats Catherine Murphy says the Standards in Public Office Commission should have greater powers:
Meanwhile, the Aontú leader is also criticising Robert Troy for not declaring a conflict of interest while using Dáil time to advocate for rental schemes which he benefited from.
Peadar Tóibín said "This whole debacle is so Fianna Fáil. Here we have yet again a FF Minister with significant property portfolio pleading confusion on SIPO property compliance. The Fianna Fáil minister who admits inaccuracy in the declaration of his properties. This is very hard to believe. We are not talking about some inconsequential investment here. We are talking about the largest investments that families make in their lives. The fact that the an elected representative would use Dáil speaking time to call for more funding for a state rental scheme which he himself receives money from and not think to reflect ahis conflict of interest is also incredible. Mr. Troy even used parliamentary questions to get more information on the Rental Accommodation Scheme, which he has two properties under, leased to the Westmeath County council."
