The case of a Kerry TD challenging the appointment of three Super-Junior Ministers will go to full hearing tomorrow in Dublin's High Court.

Deputy Pa Daly’s case relates to the presence of three so-called super junior ministers at Cabinet - Fine Gael’s Hildegarde Naughton, and Regional Independents Seán Canney and Noel Grealish.

He wants the court to declare that their attendance at Cabinet is unconstitutional.

The hearing is expected to take place tomorrow, Monday July 7th at 10.30.
