Sinn Féin and partition row

Summary

The Tánaiste continued attacking Sinn Féin for what he called a partitionist approach to energy policy, contrasting support in the South with the North. Members repeatedly heckled over Fine Gael not contesting the North, and the exchange ended with the Tánaiste saying Sinn Féin had no plan.

You have had your opportunity, Deputy Doherty. Deputy Ward, will you please put your question?

There is no election so the Tánaiste does not care. Simon Harris, true to form.

Cold in Armagh. No plan for Armagh. Sinn Féin wants more for Louth.
