THE STANDARDS IN Public Office Commission has decided against conducting a formal investigation into former junior minister Damien English after he admitted that his handling of a planning application was “not up to the standard required”.
Following the report, People Before Profit TD Paul Murphy submitted a complaint to Sipo and requested that the commission investigate the incident.In a letter seen by The Journal from Sipo to Murphy in response to his complaint, a Sipo official wrote that the complaint was considered at a meeting of the commission.
Murphy has said he considers the decision not to investigate to be a “real shame” given that English was “forced to resign as a result” of the failure to declare the property.
