Senator Ivor Callely is in the glare of the public eye again over fresh allegations about his expenses.

In a report in today's Sunday's Tribune, it is claimed the Senator received more than €80,000 in mileage subsistence over two years, while he was a junior minister.

According to the report, Mr Callely filed for the maximum mileage allowance of 5,000 miles per month during this post, even though he lived less than three miles from his office.
