Workers and families were “mogged” in last year’s budget, according to a Labour TD in what appears to be the first use of the slang term in the Dáil.

Ged Nash was criticising Tánaiste Simon Harris during Leaders’ Questions when he deployed the term, which has gained popularity online in recent months and generally means to outdo someone else.
