A Fianna Fáil MEP has submitted a formal complaint against a Polish MEP, after he snorted like a pig at her during a committee meeting in Brussels.

Cynthia Ní Mhurchú, Fianna Fáil MEP for Ireland South, has formally written to European Parliament president Roberta Metsola over the incident, which took place in December.
