The Dáil's disciplinary committee has found Independent TD Catherine Murphy not guilty of abusing Dáil privilege.

The committee on Procedures and Privileges has found Deputy Murphy had not abused privilege when she made allegations about Denis O'Brien's banking arrangements with IBRC two weeks ago.

The committee met in private this evening following a complaint from Mr O'Brien, who claimed the comments were a deliberate breach of a court injunction which stopped media outlets from publishing those details.

This evening the C-P-P said Deputy Murphy's comments had not broken any Dáil rules, but it could not consider whether she had breached the injunction as this was a matter for the courts.
