Maybe he wants to work for free?

The senator claims he did no wrong in claiming €3,000 of mobile phone expenses using receipts from a company that had gone out of business.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the typical cute hoor Irish politician summed up.

They're only back off their summer holidays.

Now we wait to see if he travelled from Cork or Clontarf.

Although he can't sit in the Seanad for 20 days, he can still participate in Oireachtas committee meetings -- though he won't receive expenses for attending.

Before the meeting started, a member of the committee casually commented about Mr Callely's attendance but an Oireachtas official clarified that he was entitled to attend.

Seems he did nothing wrong by showing up to a committee meeting, he won't get paid for it either way.
