Two newly elected TDs have yet to speak in the Dáil 

Mr Hayes was suspended by the Social Democrats in advance of the first sitting of the 34th Dáil, after it emerged that he did not sell his shares in controversial tech firm Palantir until after he was elected as a Dublin City councillor. Picture: Leon Farrell/RollingNews.ie

Two newly elected TDs are yet to make any speaking contributions to the Dáil, more than four months after the general election took place.

Fine Gael’s David Maxwell and suspended Social Democrats TD Eoin Hayes are the only two new members of the 34th Dáil who are yet to make their maiden speeches to the house.
