Verona Murphy 'fully intends' to continue as Ceann Comhairle as opposition parties draft no confidence motion
The text of the motion states that the Ceann Comhairle “no longer maintains the confidence of all members of Dáil Éireann”.
Murphy said she rejects the "totally unfounded allegations" related to her role in the speaking time row.
Sinn Féin's chief whip Pádraig Mac Lochlainn said Murphy has "tonight and tomorrow to consider her position".
Taoiseach Micheál Martin called the opposition’s attitude to the Ceann Comhairle “extraordinary” and accused Sinn Féin of engaging “in bad faith”.
