The Agriculture Minister's position is being called into question after he attended an event for 80 people on Wednesday night.

Dara Calleary has apologised for going to an Oireachtas Golf Society event in Clifden, Co Galway. Fine Gael senator Jerry Buttimer has also apologised for attending, while its reported EU Trade Commissioner Phil Hogan was also there.

This week's public health guidelines say only 50 people are allowed to attend an indoor gathering.
Rise TD Paul Murphy’s calling the Minister to give a clearer explanation of what happened.
