After Politics
On 27 April 2012, Callely was fined €150 in court for driving without an NCT disc displayed.
In May 2012, the Irish Independent revealed that Callely was overpaid almost €6,000 in mileage expenses while he was a Minister of State in 2004–05. The error was discovered in 2010 but he has refused to pay back the money. Callely was asked by the Department of Transport to make proposals for repayment on a goodwill basis, he replied that due to the need to devote his energy to other proceedings he was not in a position to deal with this issue.
