A FF man at that. A Housing Minister at that... Wait, why’s he Housing Minister again? 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ The bizarre thing is he felt the need to say actually he declared it, it's akin to saying 'by the way I complied with the law' as if its a good thing. Its a good indication of how fast and loose they play with the rules. If he had made €500,000 instead of loosing €15,000 would it be in the public domain I don’t think so
