The Dublin West TD, Mr Liam Lawlor, is a director of a second Czech Republic-based property development company, apart from the one he was questioned about by the recent Fianna Fail payments to politicians inquiry team, the latest declaration of TDs' interests shows.
Mr Lawlor was asked by the inquiry about Irish Consortium SRO, a company based in Prague of which he is an executive director. In the updated register of interests of TDs and senators, due to be published tomorrow, Mr Lawlor is shown to be a non-executive director of a company called Zatecka 14 SRO, also based in Prague.
Under the Ethics in Public Office Act 1995, all TDs and senators must make annual declarations of income, company directorships and shareholdings, travel benefits, gifts, and property holdings over a certain value. The latest declarations are for the year ending January 31st, 2000.
Mr Lawlor who, the Flood tribunal heard, was paid for consultancy services in the 1990s, stated in the latest register that he earned no occupational income apart from his TD's salary in the last year. In the previous year's register, he said he earned an income from Demographic and Population Studies, consultants in Harold's Cross, Dublin.
However, in the new register, Mr Lawlor said he held a remunerated position as a technical consultant with Rotary M and E Services in Fairview, Dublin. In the new register Mr Lawlor said he had shares of 20 per cent with Menolly Properties Ltd of Village Court in Lucan, a house-building development, in addition to shareholdings he has revealed in previous declarations.
The Taoiseach, Mr Ahern, had few declarations to make. He received a gift of a crystal decanter of cognac from Edward Dillon and Co which he intends giving to a "suitable charity". He has also declared honorary membership of the Grange, Elm Park and Portmarnock golf clubs and the Riverview Fitness Club in Clonskeagh. He said he will not realise any "material benefit" from the memberships as he does not play golf and does not use the Riverview facilities.
The Tanaiste, Ms Harney, and the Minister for Finance, Mr McCreevy, declared the use of Ulick McEvaddy's holiday villa in the south of France, which landed them at the centre of controversy last August.
Ms Harney said the use of the holiday home in St Paul de Vence, was "provided for purely personal reasons to me and six friends" and she estimates the value of the use of the house at between u617 and u686. £617 and £686.
The Minister for Finance, Mr McCreevy, declined to put a value on the villa use. He declared the shared use of a "friend's holiday home" in France along with his wife for eight nights. He said the accommodation was "received from a personal friend and for personal reasons".
In relation to gifts, the Minister received a camcorder worth approximately u £800 from MV Technology, Dublin. He also received honorary membership of Naas, Mount Juliet and the K-Club golf clubs.
The Dublin TD Mr Ivor Callely declared the use of an Alfa Romeo 166 Super car.
The former Taoiseach, Mr Albert Reynolds, added Bula Resources Ltd to his list of earnings while the former Tanaiste and Labour Party leader, Mr Dick Spring, added the directorship of Eircom to his impressive list in the last year.
Several Oireachtas members bought Eircom shares last summer, the register shows.
A total of 80 of the 166 TDs have incomes apart from their Dail salaries, from various sources such as farming, property lettings, consultancies and company directorships.
Several TDs are still drawing income from teaching even though their jobs are held by substitute teachers.
