Sinn Fein TD Pa Daly allowed to take legal action over presence of super junior ministers at Cabinet meetings

SINN Fein TD Pa Daly has been granted High Court permission to take legal action alleging the attendance of super junior ministers to Cabinet meetings is unconstitutional.

Ms Justice Mary Rose Gearty granted leave to the Kerry TD, meaning he can pursue his case after she was satisfied that he surmounted the “relatively low” bar of showing that he had an arguable case and that it had a prospect of success.

Senior counsel Feichin McDonagh previously told the court that the application for leave to seek judicial review is over the appointment of super junior ministers who attended meetings of the Cabinet.

He told Justice Gearty that Mr Daly wants declarations that their attendance breaches the constitution.

Mr Daly points out that Article 28 of the Constitution of Ireland limits the number of government members to 15.

The super junior ministers appointed include Fine Gael’s Hildegarde Naughton, as well as Independents Sean Canney and Noel Grealish. Fianna Fail’s Mary Butler is also a minister of state attending Cabinet.

Mr McDonagh said the papers submitted to the court raise “important issues”.

Justice Gearty said that the bar for granting leave is “relatively low and not insurmountable”.

She said that the case is one that is arguable and has a prospect of success.

She told the High Court on Wednesday: “I think you have surmounted that obstacle and I grant you leave to seek relief.”

The case will come before the court next Tuesday, after the respondents, including the Taoiseach, the Government and the Attorney General have been notified.

Mr McDonagh said that the papers will be served at the Oireachtas on Wednesday.

‘NEXT STAGE’

He also told the court that he will write individually to each super junior minister to ask if they want to join as a notice party or be joined to the respondents.

Speaking outside the High Court in Dublin, Mr Daly said: “First of all I would like to thank Judge Gearty for taking the case, and hearing it so soon.

“I’m glad that she got to hear the arguments we had to make and she has granted us leave to take the case to the next stage.

“Over the last 15 to 20 years, there has been an increase in the number of super junior ministers appointed and if you listen to the comments that were made by former taoiseach Leo Varadkar over the weekend, these super junior ministers have full access to Cabinet papers and to memos and treated equally at Government talks.

THREE SEPARATE HEADINGS

“So it is the view of an increasing number of people that this may be contrary to certain sections of the Articles of the Constitution.

“I hope that the case proceed along with the same speed as has been shown to it to date.”

There are three separate headings in the pleadings, including the number of people attending Cabinet meetings.

He said there is an issue of cabinet confidentiality as well as an issue of expenses and allowances paid to super junior ministers.

Asked if Mr Varadkar’s comments will bolster his case, Mr Daly said: “I don’t think they were unhelpful.”

Mr Daly also said it will be “interesting” to see the arguments put forward by the Government about the practice of super junior ministers attending Cabinet meetings.

Wynne Evans’s Strictly co-stars rally around him as he battles to save career

WYNNE Evans’s Strictly co-stars have rallied around him following his decision to step back from the tour and his BBC work commitments.

Insiders told The Sun that Wynne, 53, was at home in Wales with close pals “keeping an eye on him,” as the BBC put him in touch with a welfare officer.

The opera singer is battling to save his career, including his £1million Go Compare contract after making crude sexual “jokes” to Strictly crew and co-stars.

He stepped down from the tour and his BBC Radio Wales show on Tuesday following his remark to Janette Manrara about a “spit roast”.

Wynne left Liverpool on Tuesday and returned home to be with his friends and family.

A source said: “Wynne is surrounded by people who are supporting him and the BBC have assigned him someone to talk to.

“He is incredibly apologetic and knows what he says was misjudged.

“Wynne’s Strictly co-stars have all rallied and are backing him all the way,

“They all love Wynne and have a lot of time for him.

Janette has nothing but affection for Wynne. They just want him to be alright.”

Last night Wynne was holed up at his home in Wales with close pals looking after him.

He spoke out on Tuesday and issued a statement confirming he was stepping back from his radio show and from the Strictly Live tour.

He said: “I’ve agreed with the BBC that l’ll take some time out from my radio show and the Strictly Live tour, as well as my other public commitments, to prioritise my wellbeing.

“I am deeply sorry for the pain my inappropriate actions have caused, and plan to take this time for self-reflection.

“Apologies to those I won’t get to see at the remaining performances and I’m grateful to my fellow tour gang for all the amazing support they have given me.”

Taking to X, his brother Mark, a baritone performer and children’s author, also praised his brother’s character while addressing the controversy.

He said: “As a brother, I want to express my unwavering support for him during this challenging time.”

He continued: “Wynne has a heart of gold and the courage of a lion, paired with a talent that outshines most.

“His charisma and humour have brought joy to countless people.”

Wynne alluded to a threesome by using the term “spit roast”, outraging fans of the Strictly and prompting bosses to remove him from the production.

It followed an incident early in last year’s series when he was criticised for placing his hand on dance partner Katya Jones’ midriff before she quickly removed it – though both insist there was no issue.

Following his remark on the Strictly tour, Wynne split from his girlfriend Liz Brookes.

Wynne Evans' Strictly scandals

‘Grope’

Wynne encountered a backlash after his Strictly pro partner Katya was filmed removing his hand from her waist.

Fans insisted she looked uncomfortable as she moved it away – but Katya later insisted there was no problem.

In joke

They then sparked further fury, when she was seen refusing to high-five the Opera singer.

The duo were quick to issue a video apology and insisted it was all an innocent “inside joke”.

Crude joke

Wynne came under fire for allegedly telling a “crude” joke to one of the show’s make-up artists.

Insiders claim the opera star made a joke that the folds of his double chin “looked like a vagina”.

A source said: “It was a bit of a vulgar dad joke.”

Vile comment

Wynne was recorded suggesting a three-way sex ­session with presenter Janette Manrara, using the term “spit roast”.

His remark came at a photocall to launch the Strictly live tour, which pro Janette, 41, is hosting.

He reportedly pulled a suggestive face at actor Jamie Borthwick as Janette moved between them — which is when Evans allegedly made the joke.

Wynne has apologised saying: “My language was inappropriate and unacceptable, for which I sincerely apologise.”

People have been heading to multiple Asda stores to see if they can find the £38 leopard print puffer coat but for many, it has been an unsuccessful trip.

Plenty of fashion fans have been begging for it to appear online and have been checking the website daily in the hopes it does.

And now they have reason to celebrate, as that day is just around the corner.

Fabulous’ deputy fashion editor, Abby McHale revealed: “This viral leopard print coat from George at Asda is online tomorrow.

“So set your alarms.

“I know so many people who have gone to like five or more Asda’s to try and find this, but you do not need to anymore.”

Man your computers, as the 30th January is when the jacket will be available to purchase online at 5am.

That’s despite reports that it would be hitting the website on Monday 27th January.

Many shoppers set their alarms on Monday morning in the hope of adding one to their shopping baskets, but were disappointed to see that just a plain beige version of the jacket was available online.

“Waited up, it’s still not on the website!” one person wrote.

“I had an alarm set for 6am,” another added.

“Checked website, not on, drove to my local and it’s not there either!”

“I tried at 12am, 6am and 7,” a third fumed.

“Are people just having us on?”

“I think it’s all a hype – it’s not on there,” someone else said.

“Been awake half the night,” another raged.

“Still not on the f**king website!”

Fashionistas have been taking to social media in their thousands to gush about the coat – which is a dupe of a Ganni one, but £587 cheaper.

Carrie was one of the lucky shoppers who managed to get her hands on the jacket, after craftily deciding to hit the supermarket late in a hopeful bid to find it.

She took to her TikTok page to share a video of herself modelling the product, as she put her son in charge of filming her from “all angles” so she could see if she liked it.

“Love it – £38 bargain! Reminds me of the Ganni one.”
