Agriculture Minister Dara Calleary has given his resignation to Taoiseach Micheál Martin.
He apologised last night for going to a golf event attended by 80 people that broke Covid 19 guidelines.
The minister admitted he shouldn't have gone to the Oireachtas Golf Society dinner at a hotel in Clifden, Co. Galway on Wednesday.
Cork Senator Jerry Buttimer has apologised for attending the event, saying on Twitter that it was a lapse of judgement on his part, for which he sincerely apologised.
