Senator: ‘Clown’ Kenny is urinating on the Seanad

Uproar greeted a Fianna Fáil senator’s tirade against Enda Kenny in which the Taoiseach was branded “a clown urinating on the Seanad”.

The outburst by Marc MacSharry provoked bitter exchanges in the upper house as Fine Gael senators rallied to Mr Kenny’s defence.

Taking exception to Mr Kenny’s attack on the Seanad for doing nothing to stop the excesses of the Celtic Tiger economy, Mr MacSharry launched an extraordinary attack on the Taoiseach.
