My website stated "Peter Mathews TD". Fine Gael owns it and I cannot use it. It receives the parliamentary activities allowance, which is to be approximately €120,000 plus for the remaining two and a half years. The party’s coffers are filled and it holds on to the website that uses the wording "Peter Mathews TD". I have had to find another title, www.petermathews.ie. Everything is affected. Over a weekend during the recess, after having been chucked out of the parliamentary party, my papers from my original office were taken without my permission. The office was cleaned out.
