Mayo TD Paul Lawless wrote to the Taoiseach on Sunday requesting time be set aside in the Dáil next week for Helen McEntee to answer questions on the most recent Garda whistleblower scandal.

Aontú has threatened to table a motion of no confidence in Foreign Affairs Minister Helen McEntee if she does not come before the Dáil to account for her time as Justice Minister and her handling of protected disclosures by gardaí.

Four former and current members of the force were last month featured in an RTÉ Investigates documentary, with two directly connected to the Garda whistleblowing unit and two others who made protected disclosures.
