Taoiseach: ‘Unacceptable’ and ‘disgraceful’ incidents
Speaking in the Digital Hub in Dublin, Mr Kenny said that Fine Gael TD Tom Barry had apologised for grabbing party colleague Áine Collins and putting her on his knee in the chambers. “He said this would never happen again. He was truly apologetic to all his party colleagues in his action,” Mr Kenny said.
Mr Kenny was speaking as TDs began an almost nine-week holiday from the Dáil, returning on Sept 18. They will return to a busy term as intense negotiations build in the lead-up to the budget in on Oct 15.
