The Taoiseach Bertie Ahern has said this morning that he has asked that a committee be set up to investigate allegations that a Fianna Fáil councillor was caught snorting cocaine.
Photos were published last month allegedly revealing Councillor Liam Kelly taking the drug, although he claims the pictures were staged.
Mr Ahern said his party was determined to find out whether or not the pictures were accurate.
If they are, he said: "It’s a very serious issue and there will be no fudging or no hiding."
