Former Fine Gael TD John Farrelly has confirmed to Meath Live that he will issue a statement on Monday in relation to the recent story on ‘the ditch’ website

The story can be found here, https://www.ontheditch.com/fine-gael-td-nursing/, and centres on allegations that a nursing home in Kilmainhamwood which the auctioneer part owned, was sold to a charity which was run by the former TD.

When contacted this morning Farrelly told us, ‘As far I am concerned it’s a non story, there is no story in it. I will be issuing a statement on Monday and at the moment that is all I can say.’

He is the second Meath FG personality to feature in the websites stories as previously, current TD, Damien English had to resign as a junior minister when The Ditch exposed irregularities in a planning application submitted by him to Meath County Council.
