Mary Lou McDonald lodges official complaint over Taoiseach's 'lies' comment

Mary Lou McDonald said Fianna Fáil is being led by the interests of property funds and continuing with an approach that has 'failed abysmally.'

The Sinn Féin leader has lodged an official complaint with the Ceann Comhairle, after the Taoiseach accused her of telling lies in the Dáil.

Speaking in Irish, Micheál Martin hit out at Mary Lou McDonald for “telling lies again”, stating that the opposition leader was “ag insint bréaga arís” on the topic of housing — a term which is considered to be unparliamentary language.
