A Kerry TD's dangerous driving conviction will be considered by Fianna Fáil's Rules and Procedure Committee, according to the Taoiseach.

Deputy Michael Cahill was convicted of dangerous driving after a court heard he was driving at over 190kph on the M8 motorway last March.

He has been disqualified from driving for two years and fined €500.

He has apologised for his actions, will not appeal the conviction and will step back as a member of the Joint Oireachtas Justice Committee.
