TDs’ language to be checked
A marked drop in Dáil standards in recent months has seen one deputy yell “F*** you!” twice at a colleague and another TD shout out, “Who’s the cougar?” shortly after a visiting female Australian parliamentarian was introduced to the Dáil.
The “cougar” incident prompted Fine Gael justice spokesman Charlie Flanagan to write to the Dáil Ceann Comhairle urging that the decline in standards be reversed.
