'Please Sit Down!': New Dáil Has Its First Big Row

The 32nd Dáil has been suspended for the first time as a row erupted between Anti-Austerity Alliance/People Before Profit TDs and the Ceann Comhairle.
The argey bargey came as opposition TDs complained that Fempi (Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest) legislation was being extended without a vote.
The government was accused of using ‘old politics’ to bulldoze through legislation without opportunity for discussion or debate.
Discussing the proposed extension to Fempi laws, the AAA/PBP’s Mick Barry said it was “somewhat strange that financial emergency legislation is being renewed at a time when there is not a financial emergency in the State”.
His party argued for a debate and vote to be held in the Dáil before the legislation is extended before ripping up a copy of the laws: jrnl.ie/2854148
