Warm bed row

Summary

The same spat over coalition politics and the “warm bed” remark continued, with further interruptions and sharper personal jibes.

It is always easy to get into a warm bed.

Leader, please. Senator Humphreys to resume.

Senator Wilson, I can well understand why you are so annoyed.

Senator Humphreys' remarks must be addressed through the Chair.

I know well the anger of many Senators about the late election and the cloak and dagger politics that went on during that period. I can understand Senator Wilson's annoyance. I would say the bed was warm for Fianna Fáil Members when they got in there. They have made a right mess of it since they got there.

Before we would get into any bed that you were involved in, it would want a fairly good scrubbing.
