Independent TD Danny Healy-Rae has been labelled a "disgrace" and a "fucking asshole" when he brought up the gender of People Before Profit TD Paul Murphy's child during a debate on the Finance Bill on Tuesday.
As deputies discussed the Universal Social Charge in the Dáil, the Kerry TD used his speaking time to call for its abolition, describing it as a "punitive tax that affects everyone" before criticising Government spending on immigration and climate action, and the introduction of reduced speed limits.
