Bad language report to be given to all TDs following row between Taoiseach and McDonald in Dáil

Ms Murphy asked Mr Martin to withdraw the comment “if you made those remarks, I am not aware that you did”.

The Taoiseach has declined to apologise to Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald, saying he "cannot withdraw a remark he did not make".

A row over the Taoiseach's language in the Dáil will be referred to a Dáil committee, the Ceann Comhairle has told the chamber.
