Summary

After Leaders’ Questions, the Tánaiste made a remark about Deputy Murphy and a megaphone; Deputy Coppinger objected and called for its withdrawal before proceedings moved to the Order of Business.

I have not heard so much eloquence since I listened to a megaphone a couple of months ago. I think the megaphone was manned by the Deputy but he has not lost it.

A Leas-Cheann Comhairle, is the Tánaiste to be allowed to make this type of comment?

She has stood up in Dáil today and cast aspersions on Deputy Murphy and she should withdraw those remarks. She is a specialist in the snide remark anyway.

We will move to the Order of Business. The Tánaiste is well able to deal with it.
