The editor of the Limerick Leader has confirmed that the newspaper will release the tape of the interview journalist Mark Dwayne conducted with Defense Minister Willie O'Dea.

During the controversial interview, the Minister made statements about a local politician, the start of a massive controversy which forced the Government to table a motion of confidence in the Minister, to counter an Opposition one of no confidence.

Fine Gael has today tabled a motion of no confidence in the Defence Minister in the Seanad.

Last night the Deputy leader in the Seanad, Senator Dan Boyle, wrote on his Twitter page that he had no confidence in Minister O'Dea.
