Phil Hogan "very disappointed" with treatment, says he endured "full scale attack" from government
Hogan resigned from his position as Ireland's EU Commissioner due to controversy surrounding his attendance at an Oireachtas Golf Society event in Clifden and his movements in the country before and after the event.: “I didn’t get due process, unlike others. I am very disappointed that there was a huge effort concentrated on my resignation.
Hogan said he was left with"no option but to resign because of the huge pressure from the Taoiseach, the Tánaiste and the media".He added: “I broke no law. There was a lot of confusion around the advice. I tried my best. I made mistakes in terms of the interpretation of the regulations.
