Socialist TD Joe Higgins is threatening to picket Leinster House for an hour today in an attempt to have his suspension from the Dail overturned, so that he can attend a debate on Liam Lawlor.
Deputy Higgins who is also a representative for Dublin West, was banned from the chamber before Christmas for disobeying the Ceann Comhairle.
TDs will discuss a government motion calling on Mr Lawlor to resign his Dail seat if he fails to co-operate with the Flood Tribunal.
The move comes as the disgraced TD stands down from two Oireachtas committees.
