A constituent has made a complaint about a serving TD's performance to the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC).
According to the Irish Examiner, a motion is to be put before the Dáil this week that the State will defend the member of the Oireachtas.
It's understood that it states that "proceedings arise solely out of the performance by the member concerned of the parliamentary functions as a member of Dáil Eireann".
The Examiner reports that it is understood the basis of the complaint is that a constituent who had asked the representative for assistance on an issue regarding disability services was not satisfied with the TD's performance and has launched action under the Equal Status Acts in the WRC.
