The Public Accounts Committee will meet today to discuss the Justice Minister's decision to refer the penalty points controversy to the Garda Ombudsman.
They'll also discuss a request from one of the whistleblowers – a serving Garda – who wants to appear before the Committee, as planned, on Thursday.
Yesterday, Minister Alan Shatter said some members of the PAC have prejudged the penalty points issue – and are in danger of bringing the Committee into disrepute.
Committee Chairman, John McGuinness has rejected the claim and says the PAC will discuss this and the whistleblower's request when it meets this afternoon.
