A Kerry TD whose legal action was dismissed by the High Court says he expects the challenge to continue.

Sinn Féin's Pa Daly was speaking after he lost a legal challenge over the attendance of super junior ministers at cabinet meetings.

People Before Profit TD Paul Murphy brought a separate action on the matter, which was also dismissed.

Speaking after the ruling, Deputy Daly says they were correct to take this challenge:
