There is no point to a motion of no confidence in Justice Minister Helen McEntee following riots in Dublin city last week, Social Protection Minister Heather Humphreys has said.

Speaking to reporters, Ms Humphreys said  motions of no confidence “achieve nothing” and that time would be better spent on introducing legislation, including new laws to allow for gardaí to use facial recognition technology.
