Opposition urges IBRC Dáil debate

The TD at the centre of the Denis O’Brien parliamentary privilege controversy has been joined by the two main opposition parties in calls for a special Dáil debate on IBRC deals for customers, Siteserv, and KPMG’s investigation into the affair.

Independent TD Catherine Murphy was backed last night by Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin after the High Court confirmed revelations she made in the Dáil last Thursday about Mr O’Brien can be reported in full.

However, despite the developments, Mr O’Brien continued to criticise the TD, saying she is “disseminating untruths”, and confirmed he is planning to take a case against the State to clarify the demarcation line between Dáil privilege and court decisions.
