A report on alleged breaches of ethics by two councillors in Killarney, Co Kerry, has been published.
The Standards in Public Office Commission report confirms that it will be referring the case of Fianna Fáil Councillor Patrick O'Donoghue to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
The commission concluded that he may have committed offences under the Local Government Act during his attempts to rezone land owned by his family on the outskirts of Killarney.
The commission also found that Mayor of Killarney Sile Casey, Fine Gael Councillor, did not breach the Local Government Act. The commission was not satisfied on the evidence before it that she had knowledge that she had, as an employee of the O'Donoghue family, a beneficial interest in the re-zoning motion.
