People Before Profit TD Paul Murphy has made a complaint to the Standards in Public Office Commission about Junior Minister Niall Collins’ property dealings.

Collins made a second statement to the Dáil on Thursday but Murphy said he was not held properly accountable as follow up questions were not allowed.

Speaking on Friday, Murphy said he made the complaint to SIPO over the sale of land to the Collins’ wife by Limerick Council in 2008.
