Galway West Fine Gael backbencher Brian Walsh has fired the first warning shot at Attorney General Maire Whelan over her role in the Government's biased information campaign for the Children referendum.

Two Government ministers have said that that the contents of the booklets, which were deemed to be not fair, equal or impartial by the Supreme Court  had been based on advice from Ms Whelan's office.

Deputy Brian Walsh says there are now "serious questions" to be answered about the Attorney General's role in approving the content of the information booklets and the accompanying website.

The fallout from the children's referendum is expected to be discussed at a Cabinet meeting today, with Ms Whelan due to be present as usual in her role as Attorney General.

Due to the Supreme Court ruling, the threat of a legal challenge to the result is still hanging over the Government.
