Government faces a motion of no confidence amid the controversy surrounding Garda whistleblower Maurice McCabe
Sinn Féin is to use its Dail time on Wednesday to table the motion, with a vote the following day
Sinn Féin is to table a motion of no confidence in what they describe as a "kick for touch, cover up" government.
The move follows a week of pressure on the Government over hospital waiting lists and the latest revelations about an alleged smear campaign against Garda whistleblower Maurice McCabe.
Fianna Fáil's arrangement with the Government requires it not to support any motion of No Confidence, but Sinn Fein says it will encourage Fianna Fáil to support its move.
Sinn Féin Deputy Leader Mary Lou McDonald said the health crisis is a factor in tabling a motion of no confidence in the Government, but the situation involving Sergeant McCabe is of major concern.
