The Sinn Féin President is seeking a meeting with the Ceann Comhairle over what he believes to be unfair treatment of his party in the Dáil.

Gerry Adams says he has written to Seán Barrett a number of times as he believes the Ceann Comhairle has failed to properly and impartially discharge his duties.

Mr Adams says highly prejudicial comments against Sinn Féin TDs by members of the government parties have become a feature of Dáil debates, which he argues Ceann Comhairle has failed to control.

He has again written to Mr Barrett requesting a meeting to discuss his concerns.

Sinn Féin has previously said it will make a complaint to the Dáil committee on Procedures and Privileges.

Last month, Mary Lou McDonald told Newstalk that she has no confidence in the Ceann Comhairle. Sinn Féin's Deputy Leader spoke to Jonathan Healy on the second day of her suspension from the Dáil following her four hour sit-in. You can listen back to that interview below:
