Opposition parties are criticising Minister Barry Cowen over his 2016 drink driving ban.
The Taoiseach says no-one is above the law as opposition parties are criticising Minister Barry Cowen over his 2016 drink driving ban.
In his first session of Leaders' Questions Micheál Martin said he hasn't wasted an hour of work in the last week despite the political distractions in his party.
Laois Offaly TD and Minister Barry Cowen is due to make a statement to the Dáil later - though some opposition TDs are unhappy they won't be allowed to question him.

Stephen Donnelly says the Fianna Fail Deputy is genuinely remorseful;
