Taoiseach Micheál Martin and Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald clashed sharply in the Dáil on Wednesday afternoon over the Davy scandal and the links between business and politics.

In her questions to the Taoiseach, Ms McDonald demanded further action in relation to the 16 Davy staff involved in the 2014 profiteering scandal.
