Tweet and Micheál Martin attack

Summary

A heated exchange developed over a tweet, then shifted into attacks on Micheál Martin and Fianna Fáil's record. Multiple Members interjected until the Chair warned against personal remarks and disorder.

I do not put up silly little images of people wagging fingers.

Comment on this

The Leader just wagged his.

Comment on this

If that is the case, Senator Craughwell is a good man to wag the finger without positing images.

Comment on this

All we want is for the Taoiseach to apologise to the people of Ireland.

Comment on this

The Taoiseach has nothing to apologise for.

Comment on this

The Taoiseach did not tweet that himself.

Comment on this

Anybody who knows Deputy Micheál Martin knows that he is a finger-wagging person. Everything is wrong in his eyes, and he is never wrong about anything. That is a fact of life.

Comment on this

He never accepted any responsibility when he was in government. He walked away from the Department of Health and Children. That is the reality.

Comment on this

I could not possibly comment.

Comment on this

Deputy Martin is doing a good job of propping Fine Gael up now, though.

Comment on this

The Leader might call for Deputy Martin to come in and apologise.

Comment on this

It is far more important that we do not allow Deputy Martin to become Taoiseach and go back to the days when Fianna Fáil ruined the country. At least under Deputies Leo Varadkar and Enda Kenny-----
