On Tuesday afternoon, Justice Minister Helen McEntee will face a motion of confidence after the fallout from the Dublin riots late last month.

Sinn Féin sought to hike the pressure on Ms McEntee by announcing the motion of no-confidence last week, with party leader Mary Lou McDonald saying there has been a lack of leadership from the Justice Minister and the Garda Commissioner.
