Sexist piggies caught in Dáil

THREE little sexist piggies were caught squealing in the Dáil yesterday.

Mick Wallace was recorded making offensive remarks about a female TD to fellow independent deputies Luke “Ming” Flanagan and Shane Ross when they believed the chamber’s microphones were off.

In the exchanges, Wexford TD Wallace refers to Fine Gael Dublin TD Mary Mitchell O’Connor as “Miss Piggy”. Amid laughter, Ross then comments on the “garish colours” he claims are usually worn by Ms Mitchell O’Connor — who gained notoriety after the election for accidentally driving her car along the plinth at the front of Leinster House.
