Simon Coveney is facing a grilling over the infamous champagne party in his department when he is called before the Oireachtas foriegn affairs committee.
The issue is back at the top of the political agenda this week after the Minister for Foreign Affairs revealed on Sunday night that an inquiry into the champagne lockdown party has been launched.
Members of the Oireachtas committee are meeting on Tuesday to decide whether to call Mr Coveney and other senior department officials before them to answer questions on the affair.
