The wife of a former Fianna Fáil TD has been convicted of managing an unlicensed pub. However, she claims she was merely cleaning it on behalf of her daughter.
Patricia Ellis, wife of the former TD and senator John Ellis and the mother of Orla Ellis — who was struck off the roll of solicitors for misconduct — was fined 500ドル at a hearing in Carrick-on-Shannon District Court in Leitrim last month.
