Justice minister Helen McEntee has asked the chair of the International Protection Appeals Tribunal to "urgently" review a speech given by one of its part-time members at an anti-mask protest in Dublin on Saturday.

Barrister Una McGurk spoke against the wearing of masks at the event, which was organised by the Yellow Vests Ireland group.
