Fine Gael Senator Martin Conway Has Resigned Following His Arrest Last Month

John Lee, Executive Editor of the Irish Daily Mail reports

Fine Gael senator Martin Conway has resigned from the party after being arrested while intoxicated last month.

The incident happened on Dublin's O'Connell Street in the early hours of January 22nd, and he was detained at Store Street Garda Station, before being released without charge.

He claims his "state" was "due to the consumption of sleeping tablets and alcohol" - and has issued an apology.

John Lee, Executive Editor of the Irish Daily Mail, says the matter is subject to a party disciplinary process.
