Labour TD suspended from Dáil for a day

Labour Party TD Emmet Stagg has been suspended from the Dáil for one day for engaging in a shouting match over funding for Irish emigrants living abroad.

The Kildare TD attacked the Taoiseach over Government cutbacks in funding for emigrant groups, particularly those based in Dublin.

After exchanges with the Ceann Comhairle, he was suspended from the chamber for one day.
