Grace: TD calls for Farrelly Commission to appear before Oireachtas

Carlow-Kilkenny TD John McGuinness said: 'The question for this Dáil is, are we going to allow this report to sit?'

The commission which published a report into the Grace case must appear before the Oireachtas, a government TD has said.

Carlow-Kilkenny TD John McGuinness had been deeply critical of the Farrelly Commission report when it was published two weeks ago, but a revelation this week from the solicitors who acted for the woman has led to even further demands that the commission explain its findings to TDs.
