Minister of State and Fianna Fáil TD Robert Troy: I sincerely regret that my omissions and errors could be seen as my deflection or disregard of my responsibilities as public representative'. File image: CollinsMinister of State Robert Troy has made wide-ranging amendments to his Oireachtas register of members’ interests going back over a decade, and apologised for errors in his returns.
He has also registered two other properties which had been the subject of scrutiny in recent days, Ashfield in Mullingar and Ashlawn in Longford. He registered his ownership of Ashfield in 2018, which had previously been correctly registered for all other years, and Ashlawn for the first time, as it had erroneously never been included on his register of members’ interests.
Mr Troy said he also provided a range of new details about his property interests, although he said it does not have to be declared but he wanted to do so to “ensure full transparency”. The Irish Times has requested full copies of his amended declarations of members’ interest, and for details on how much he is receiving on his rental contracts with the local authorities.
“I take full responsibility and I apologise unreservedly to my constituents, colleagues in Government, to the Dáil, and to Sipo for these errors and omissions.”
