FF Issues Statement On Primetime Investigates Broadcast
Fianna Fáil has issued a statement following the broadcast of Primetime Investigates Standards in Public Office programme.
"The Party has accepted the resignation of Cllr Joe Queenan," according to a statement on its website.
"Some of the behaviour displayed in tonight's programme was shocking and completely unacceptable. The instances where there appear to be clear breaches of the law need to be fully investigated by the Gardaí and prosecutions brought where appropriate.
"Separately, in respect of any allegations that were made against current members of Fianna Fáil, the Party will immediately commence an internal inquiry under the auspices of the Ard Chomhairle to establish the full facts in each instance and will take action as appropriate.
"Fianna Fáil expects the highest standards from its public representatives. There is absolutely no tolerance within the party for any breaches of such standards."
