News broke around lunchtime claiming that Trevor Sargent sent a letter to the Gardai on the subject of a prosecution.

The Evening Herald are running a story this evening that Sargent used ministerial headed paper to ask that charges against a constituent to be dropped. The constituent was charged with threatening and abusive behaviour.

The Green Party have been silent so far, but Sargent will address the Dáil today at 5:15pm. Rumours are rife that Sargent will resign. Will he?
