However, party leader Micheal Martin says he won't pursue Alan Shatter's resignation because there are more serious issues concerning the administration of justice.
It follows the sacking today of the man appointed to hear complaints from Gardaí about alleged malpractice within the force,
Oliver Connolly has been relieved of his duties after the leak of a transcript where he told a Garda whistleblower that the Minister for Justice would "go after him".
The news heaps further pressure on the minister, Alan Shatter, who is already under fire over his handling of allegations that the Garda Ombudsman Commission was being bugged.
