Davy Stockbrokers is being offered up for sale

It comes as the firm grapples with the scandal that's erupted over a 2014 bond deal. 

 

Three senior figures, including its chief executive, have already resigned, and it's lost its position as a main dealer in Irish government bonds. 

It's believed some of the 16 involved in the deal have significant shareholdings in the firm. 

Cork Solidarity TD Mick Barry says there must be personal consequences for those responsible. 

"It looks like you're gonna have a sale of shares from the shareholders amongst the gang of 16, and no doubt that will prove quite lucrative for them, it cannot be a case here of doing this deal and then they're out the gap, among other things, what needs to be done here is the Davy books should be opened up for public inspection, and let's look at what's been going on in that company, not just for the last few weeks and months but over the last seven years"
