Fianna Fáil TDs accused of ‘premeditated assault’ on democratic process

Two Fianna Fáil TDs at the centre of a voting controversy have been accused of carrying out a “premeditated assault” on the democratic process.

Timmy Dooley and Niall Collins have both stepped down from the Fianna Fáil front bench over the issue pending an inquiry by Ceann Comhairle Seán Ó Fearghaíl.
