SINN FÉIN LEADER Mary Lou McDonald is taking legal action against RTÉ.
It is as of yet unclear what the legal action relates to.
Court filings show that a case was lodged in the High Court yesterday.
McCartan and Burke Solicitors are listed as representing the Dublin Central TD in the case.
Sinn Féin TDs Aengus Ó Snodaigh and Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire have also sued the national broadcaster during the lifetime of the current Dáil.
Both were over comments made on RTÉ Radio’s Liveline programme.
Ó Laoghaire, Sinn Féin’s education spokesman and a TD for Cork South-Central, first filed proceedings against RTÉ in July 2020. The case was later settled.
Sinn Féin said in a statement to The Journal: “This is now a matter in litigation before the courts, and it would be inappropriate to comment.”
RTÉ said in a statement that it does not comment on legal matters.
