Former Fianna Fail TD, junior minister, deputy whip, Senator, etc. jailed for using false invoices to claim mobile phone expenses.
Ivor Callely jailed for five months for fraudulently claiming expenses (RTE)
That Ivor Callelly was a senior politician at the time of his crime was “an aggravating factor” in sentencing. Very interesting precedent

Finally. Up his ff a**e. Even though will prob be commuted by our rotten judicial system.
…don’t mention commuting his sentence or he’ll submit an expenses claim for it …from W Cork.
About time too. It’s nice to see politicians doing some bird for a change.
At last.
Although I still can’t believe he got away with the 80K or whatever it was by pretending to live in Cork. Was that ever repaid or did he just get suspended without pay for a couple of months???
He got sentenced to five months…… sentenced.
Out early for good behaviour or some of other bollix in 3, 2 weeks, 1 day…..?
He gone done said it better
Has he been booked in for an interview with Marian yet?
I hear the noise of a bell.
Should the headline not be YEAHHHHH!! He will probably only do 2-3 months & he will be wrapped on bubble wrap but better than none.
Now if only we could find a way to strip him of his pension’s I’d be a happy man
+1
Needs to be written in to all politicians contracts, that proven corruption is an automatic loss of pension and all state benefits above the standard state pension.
here here
Delighted, encore!! encore!!
very surprised he actually got time
It’s a start, I suppose.
…….and his tan will be all gone when he comes out in a week :(
Fianna Fail must be so embarrassed – actually being stupid enough to get caught and end up in jail
Locking up bent politicians? Sorry m8, that’s un-irish.
Not a harsh enough sentence! He stole €4000 worth and he gets 5 months! There’s people in prison for longer than that for stealing a tracksuit, or a pair of shoes. Stealing is stealing, he should get what the average citizen would get.
Lying FF scum!
True. UK politicians have got sentences in the years for similar amounts.
lots of activity outside Wangs Garden in Killester today.
has had a sign up for the last few weeks ” no entry unless with permission of Ivor Callely”
