A Kildare Sinn Féin TD says she did not stage a walk-out in the Dáil during the annual vote on legislation to extend the powers of the Special Criminal Court.
During last night's voting block, Sinn Féin TDs vacated the chamber ahead of the ballot.
The party abstained last year - but previously had always opposed the legislation on the Special Criminal Court.
South county Sinn Féin Deputy, Patricia Ryan, says she is on record as abstaining from the ballot.
Furthermore, she says, there were 8 party TDs in the chamber at the time.
Deputy Ryan joined Clem Ryan on Thursday's edition of Kildare Today, and a wider interview on the topic of anti-social behaviour in housing estates.
This is the full excerpt of that interview which refers to last night's Dáil vote:
