Opposition leaders are seeking "an urgent meeting" with the Taoiseach ahead of this week's showdown on Dáil speaking rights.

The row over speaking rights has rumbled on since the formation of the Government and led to a delay in the election of Micheál Martin as Taoiseach and the formation of a Dáil Reform Committee which ended in acrimony between government and opposition before St Patrick's Day.
