Micheal Martin, speaking on the ‘plinth’ at Leinster House this afternoon proposed a motion of no confidence in Minister for Justice Alan Shatter to be put to the house next week.
Earlier he told the dail:
“Even the Government’s most craven supporters now concede that we are facing a profound crisis which touches on one of our most important institutions. In the face of this we have for months seen a strategy of attacking opponents, false claims left on the record, a reluctance to investigate serious allegations and an absolute refusal to accept even the most basic principles of democratic accountability.”
