Junior Minister Niall Collins is to make a statement to the Dáil once he has obtained the full information, it is understood.

The junior minister in the Department of Higher Education will be asking the Ceann Comhairle for permission to come before the house to make a statement, sources have said, in response to claims he incorrectly declared a property interest.
