Micheál Martin says the Dail needs to sit to discuss how issues raised by Deputy Catherine Murphy under Dail privilege cannot not be reported as they are also the subject of a High Court injunction.
Yesterday Deputy Murphy made new claims about businessman Denis O'Brien's banking arrangements with IBRC.
Micheál Martin says it is unprecedented that a matter of serious public interest in the Dail cannot be aired or reported.
A spokesperson for Mr O'Brien has said Dail privilege has important role in Irish society and democracy but it should not be allowed to be used or abused where falsehoods are misrepresented as facts as has happened in the Dail in the last 24 hours
