Daly dismisses warrant for her arrest as a ‘distraction’

Independents4Change TD Clare Daly has dismissed, as a “distraction”, the issuing of a bench warrant for her arrest, saying she will “deal with the matter in due course”.

A bench warrant was issued yesterday afternoon for the arrest of the Dublin Fingal TD, slammed by a district court judge for showing “disrespect”.

Speaking in Leinster House, Ms Daly said she did attend Naas District Court yesterday morning but left to be in the Dáil for the job she was elected to do.
