The new Leas-Cheann Comhairle, John McGuinness, is congratulated on Wednesday by the only other candidate for the post, Aengus Ó Snodaigh. Both had previously run for the Ceann Comhairle's job but were defeated by Verona Murphy. Picture: Maxwell’s  

Newly elected Leas-Cheann Comhairle John McGuinness has used his address in the Dáil chamber to remind members to respect one another and not "misbehave" in an apparent swipe at the Taoiseach.

Fianna Fáil's John McGuinness emerged victorious following a secret ballot — defeating Sinn Féin's Aengus Ó Snodaigh by 96 votes to 66.
