Junior Minister Niall Collins is set to make a statement in the Dáil today following controversy surrounding a land sale.

He's been the subject of allegations in recent days relating to purchase of land by his wife when he was a local representative for Limerick County Council in 2007 and 2008.

The Limerick Deputy says he was no longer a councillor by the time the sale went through in 2008.

People Before Profit TD Paul Murphy says there are "key questions" to answer.

"Did he know his wife had expressed an interest in buying the site of council land at the time in which he participated in the decision to put it up for sale?

"For me, that's the only information that I need to have. I think I have the answer to that - I think it's very unlikely that he didn't know that his wife had expressed interest. He has never stated anywhere that he didn't know about it."
