Swing-gate Fine Gael TD Maria Bailey is tipped to lose the party whip in the Dail over her injury claim against a hotel.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar is expected to announce in the coming week what action will be taken against the Dun Laoghaire deputy after an internal report.
Ms Bailey has been embroiled in controversy since details of her claim against the Dean Hotel on Dublin’s Harcourt Street for falling off a swing were made public.
Her legal action relating to the incident in July 2015 has now been withdrawn.
Mr Varadkar is thought to have three options to sanction Ms Bailey – replace her as chair of the housing committee, remove the party whip or deselect her as a General Election candidate.
A Fine Gael spokesman declined to comment.
