Gerry Adams spoke to Sean Barrett on the telephone earlier today and he has also requested a meeting with Sean Barrett regarding the terms of reference of the Guerin Report.
It comes as Fianna Fáil TDs are meeting to decide whether to table a motion of no confidence in the Ceann Comhairle.
The party says Sean Barrett MUST withdraw a claim that opposition TDs are “out to get him” and undermine his position.
And, the Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams agrees.
