Complaint that Alan Farrell abused Dáil privilege

The Dáil committee on procedure and privileges has told Mr Farrell to respond to allegations he defamed TDs Dessie Ellis and Martin Ferris and possibly also undermined a Garda investigation.
Mr Farrell raised their names in the chamber last week, after Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams made a statement about what he knew regarding the IRA shooting of prison officer Brian Stack in 1983.
