Norris unlikely to face sanctions for ‘sexist’ language against TD

Senator David Norris is unlikely to face any sanctions when a complaint is lodged against his “sexist” language towards Fine Gael TD Regina Doherty.

The Meath East TD said she will make a formal complaint to the leader of the Senate after Mr Norris said she was “talking through her fanny”.

Mr Norris launched a tirade after Ms Doherty was unveiled as the deputy director of Fine Gael’s campaign to abolish the Seanad.
