This is shocking. At an EU Foreign Affairs Committee meeting, Lynn Boylan lamented that it was “a pity we can’t use our own language.” When it was pointed out that she could, in fact, speak Irish, she backtracked almost instantly: "I wasn’t prepared, so I’ll use English."

Michael Healy-Rae TD has been hospitalised after being assaulted in Dublin City Centre. Audio removed because what was being said was not true. He was taken by gardaí to Kevin Street Garda Station, and an ambulance was called, after which he was taken to hospital.

Ye won't believe this. After making a holy show of herself in one meeting over Irish. Boylan popped into the next meeting to demand EU treaties in Irish. She couldn’t read her own speech as Gaeilge but apparently will be able for dense legal texts in Irish. WTF?

Pick your jaws up off the floor for this imbecility. Cathy Bennett, Sinn Féin TD, member of the Foreign Affairs Committee. Asks how much Ireland has put aside to find a candidate for the upcoming EU presidency. She had to be told it was Irelands turn to host the EU presidency.

For those of you defending Lynn Boylan for not being able to fire off a cúpla ceist as Gaeilige. Ni Mhurchu demonstrates how it is done here, provided you can actually speak the language. And I'm sure it's just an incredible coincidence that she posted it this evening.

Go pick your jaws up off the floor after watching this. Footage of Catherine Connolly telling the Dáil that the attempted assassination of Sergei and Yulia Skripal should be seen in "context" because of the EU and NATO building missiles right up to "Russia's borders". #aras25

Woahhh. Deputy Jennifer Carroll MacNeill TD calls out Sinn Féin for playing both sides of the argument on the ground when it comes to the far right. She says she witnessed it in Ballybrack this summer. By a long shot the strongest speaker from the Government benches tonight.
