TDs and Senators seek to grill Katherine Zappone over UN role controversy

The Oireachtas Foreign Affairs Committee is to write to former Children's Minister Katherine Zappone asking her to appear before

The Oireachtas Foreign Affairs Committee is to write to former Children's Minister Katherine Zappone asking her to appear before it to discuss her botched appointment as UN Special Envoy on Freedom of Expression.

The committee, which has already grilled Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Coveney twice on the appointment, will also ask for the Secretary-General to the Government Martin Fraser to appear.
