Questioning justice minister over Woulfe appointment would set 'dangerous precedent'

Opposition parties have vowed not to let the Séamus Woulfe matter go until the Minister for Justice answers for it in the Dáil.

The Justice Minister should not answer questions on the appointment of Seamus Woulfe as it would set a "dangerous precedent", Arts Minister Catherine Martin has warned.

Opposition parties have demanded that Helen McEntee come before the Dáil to explain the process around the appointment of Seamus Woulfe to the Supreme Court.
