TDs' legal challenge of Dail 'money message' procedure to be heard before Christmas
A High Court challenge brought by four Opposition TDs against the Ceann Comhairle's decision not to allow a vote on changing Dáil standing orders to stop the Government blocking Opposition Bills will be heard shortly before Christmas.
TDs Brid Smith, Richard Boyd Barrett, Gino Kenny and Paul Murphy secured permission this week to bring a legal challenge against the Ceann Comhairle Mr Sean O Fearghail after Mr Justice Garrett Simons found their claim was "arguable".
