Sinn Féin 'leaning towards' motion of no-confidence in McEntee, sources claim

It is understood the Dáil's Business Committee has been told the party will put down a private members' bill for debate on Tuesday around the issue of justice and policing

Sinn Féin has yet to table a motion of no confidence in Justice Minister Helen McEntee, but party sources say they are "leaning that way" ahead of tomorrow's deadline.

The party must decide by 11am whether it will seek to oust the minister, embattled since last week's riots in Dublin. It is understood that as of now, the Dáil's Business Committee has been told that the party will put down a private members' bill for debate on Tuesday around the issue of justice and policing.
