Labour leader Ivana Bacik has accused Taoiseach Micheál Martin of attempting to “reo-pen” debate on Dáil speaking rights, despite rulings from the Ceann Comhairle earlier this week.

Ms Bacik said she was concerned about Mr Martin’s response to a letter from the combined opposition last week, after it was ruled that the Regional Independents could not sit as a technical group.
