SENATOR IVOR Callely has brought “shame and disgrace” on Fianna Fáil and should be expelled from the party, according to long-serving TD and former minister Mary O’Rourke.

Mr Callely claimed almost €3,000 from the Oireachtas for the purchase of mobile phones and related services from a company which the Companies Registration Office records show had ceased trading.
