The Healy Rae brothers were on their feet this afternoon after a row broke out with Fianna Fáil TD Marc McSharry over speaking time.
Holding up laminated plastic posters with numbers on it (used to indicate who can speak when), the three TDs had an almighty shouting match which could be heard down the halls of Leinster House.
The angry scenes were sparked after Danny Healy Rae raised the issue of the programme for government committing to protect farmers. Michael Healy Rae indicated that he wanted to share speaking time and stood up to speak, which McSharry appeared to object to.
This was followed by loud shouting from the benches, with McSharry telling the House that the same people get to speak all the time.
There was finger pointing and shouting, which resulted in the Leas Ceann Comhairle Pat “the Cope” Gallagher trying his best to calm proceedings.
