Fianna Fáil's Billy Kelleher: Sinn Féin like meerkats staking out territory

Sinn Féin has come under fire for its Dáil “shenanigans” on the first day of the new term.

Numerous members of Sinn Féin put in disruptive performances on the opening day of the Dáil as they called for a debate and a vote on the abolition of Irish Water.

This was despite the fact that motions to be discussed had been agreed with all the party whips prior to the sitting.
