Green TD sees red and turns Dáil blue

DÁIL tensions sparked by deep welfare cuts exploded into foul-mouthed rage yesterday as a Government TD shouted: “Fuck you!” at an opposition deputy in the chamber.

The extraordinary exchange occurred as Green education spokesman Paul Gogarty reacted angrily to accusations from Labour’s Emmet Stagg that the Government had abandoned the poor.

“With all due respect and in the most unparliamentary language, fuck you deputy Stagg! Fuck you!” Mr Gogarty said.
