"Coalition sources have said the campaign to get Phil Hogan elected as the next director general of a UN agency will have little to no involvement from the Government."
"Last week, the Cabinet approved the former Fine Gael minister and EU commissioner as its pick to run for the role of director general of the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO)."
Phil Hogan, a former Fine Gael minister and EU commissioner, has been approved by the Irish Cabinet as the Government's candidate for director general of the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation. However, coalition sources indicate the Government will provide minimal to no involvement in his campaign efforts. This means Hogan will be responsible for covering his own travel expenses and campaign-related costs associated with pursuing this international position.
