Parties seek legal advice on legality of government's blocking of proposed offshore drilling ban
The Green Party and People Before Profit are seeking legal advice over measures the Government has taken to effectively block legislation targeting a ban on oil and gas drilling in Irish waters.
The Government last month enacted bureaucratic procedure - via a so-called 'money message' - to halt the progress of People Before Profit's Climate Emergency Measures Bill upon reaching select committee stage, where it had widespread support from TDs.
