Language used about bankers
Senators dispute Senator Ó Domhnaill’s description of bankers’ conduct, while the Chair rules the exchanges out of order and ends the overlong intervention.
On a point of order, I ask Senator Brian Ó Domhnaill not to use words like "rape" when he is talking about financial institutions.

No word better describes what these bankers did to the country. I do not have the opportunity of airing my concerns on the Pat Kenny show but perhaps others do.

I understand Senator Brian Ó Domhnaill's anger, but he should not use such language when talking about financial institutions. He could surely find another word to describe what the bankers have done.

For God's sake, surely Senator Marie-Louise O'Donnell understands the point my colleague is making.

She should remember that she is not in the lecture theatre now.
