A shorter letter from the Ceann Comhairle to the electorate incorporating the words "sorry" and "resign" would have been more appropriate.
Letter published in the Irish Times on 16th September 2009.

On the day this letter was published, the Ceann Comhairle issued a second public statement in which he expressed "sorry" in very clear terms and indicated that he would place records of his expenses in Dail Library shortly.

UPDATE: In the light of the revelations (2nd October) about travel expenses incurred while Ceann Comhairle, there can be little doubt that, given that he is ex-officio Chairman of the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission, he should resign without delay and pay back all expenses which were not entirely necessary for him to fulfil his duties.
