Minister Helen McEntee is set to comfortably survive the Sinn Fein motion today with the support of Government TDs and independent deputies.

The Roscommon Galway TD did support the Sinn Fein motion calling for Israel to be referred to the International Criminal Court.

The motion was also supported by deputies Thomas Pringle, Joan Collins, Michael McNamara, and Roscommon-Galway TD Michael Fitzmaurice.

It follows the aggressive targeting of politicians as they arrived and left the Dail last week.

13 people were arrested and security at Government Buildings is to be reviewed.

Major political parties meet to prepare for the return of the Dáil next week.

A number of political parties believe a court challenge could be mounted given a number of constituencies are still over the constitutional limit requiring one TD for every 30,000 people in Ireland.

Overcrowding has become a serious concern in 2023 however, with dozens of prisoners sleeping on cell floors.
