Fine Gael and Labour are repeating calls for the Government to allow a full question and answer session during next Tuesday's Dáil sitting on the matter of payments made to the Taoiseach in the 1990s.

Both parties say reports that the largest payment made to Mr Ahern was by a company cheque from NCB Stockbrokers, raise new issues on the nature of the money the then Finance Minister received.

Mr Ahern has aleady confirmed that NCB managing director Padraig O'Connor was one of the businessmen who gave him money in 1993.

Labour Party Environment Spokesperson, Eamon Gilmore called for both the Taoiseach and NCB to now make full statements on the matter.
