The Ceann Comhairle has told DUP leader Arlene Foster that a tweet by Sinn Féin TD Brian Stanley will require "a credible political response".

However, Seán Ó Fearghaíl said that while he was "personally appalled and profoundly dismayed by its contents" it would not be necessary to take action if the tweet is addressed by Mr Stanley.
