It's emerged that the secretary-general at the Department of Justice will NOT now appear before TDs next week.
The justice committee was hoping to hear from Brian Purcell next week to discuss his role in the findings of the Guerin Report.
However it's now likely to be a fortnight before he can appear - because the Oireachtas is taking next week off to allow members campaign for the local and European elections.
The Dail's due to debate the Guerin findings later this afternoon.
