Two newly-elected TDs have hired family members as Oireachtas assistants, the Irish Independent can reveal.
Fianna Fáil’s Christopher O’Sullivan and Gary Gannon of the Social Democrats have both given taxpayer-funded jobs to siblings.
Cork South-West TD Mr O’Sullivan has two sisters working for him and Mr Gannon, a TD for Dublin Central, has employed his younger brother.
New old politics.
Good times.
Sad face.
