Government TD in foul-mouthed outburst in Dáil


A Government TD has today launched a foul-mouthed attack on a member of the Opposition during the Dáil debate on the Social Welfare Bill.

Green TD Paul Gogarty admitted that he believes the Bill, which makes cuts in allowances to the blind and carers, is grossly unfair.

He also said the Government should have taken some money off the old age pension, rather than make cuts in the Budget for the blind.

But when Labour's Emmet Stagg accused Mr Gogarty of being insincere, he immediately launched a foul-mouthed attack on the TD.

Gogarty said: "With all due respect, in the most unparliamentarily language, f*** you Deputy Stagg! F*** you!", before immediately withdrawing and apologising for his comments.

Fair play lol

PauloMN

Best thing a Green has done in government so far imo. I suddenly have a tiny bit of respect for them now after Gogarty showed a bit of bottle.

Newstalk played the clip a couple of times already. It's not just a muted "f**k you", there's real vigour behind it. You can imagine bits of spit flying out of his mouth as he says it.

''H-you whill whithdraw that stitement''

I love the way he avoids the banstick by immediately withdrawing the comment. If only that worked on here



"F**k you I immediately withdraw that comment and apologise unreservedly you F***ing bastard again I immediately withdraw . . . . ."

stagg will go to the pheonix park to 'calm' down after it

jumpguy

Savage. I love the emphasis on "****" when he says it. If only he did that yesterday with the country watching...

GLaDOS

That was pretty heroic

Cadiz

Why 'lol' and 'fairplay'?? He sounds so ignorant. He sounds like he was jarred. Sad.

He'll probably catch Gogarty afterwards in the Dáil bar, call him over and quietly whisper in his ear: "you know earlier, when you said about f**king, well I was just wondering.... you and me, the Park, 20 mins.... how does that sound?"

If there was more of this kind of thing on oireachtas report i'd watch it

"I am outraged that thomeone dareth quethtion my thincerity on thith ithue!"

He sounds like a mincing eunuch, and a little fit of swearing doesn't disguise the fact that he is part of the worst government in the history of this state. And they're not even there on principle. They are there to slide one greasy inch of buttock onto the seat of government at any cost to their dignity and the lives of the people they pretend to represent.

So **** you, Deputy Gogarty, and the piss-green bike you rode in on.

ejmaztec

A Green turning the air blue and blasting a hole through the ozone layer? Hypocrite.

kincsem

My guess is Stagg's comment hit the mark, and hurt because it was accurate. Why else would he react?

Brilliant.

I like that he acknowledges that his seat is gone.

bertie4evr

About time someone said something.

On a side note did you see googles new feature?If you search his name it'll show you live twitter feeds about him.

admiralofthefleet

in all fairness he should be sacked

My name is URL

Why did he withdraw it so quickly? Seems kind of premeditated to me.. he wanted to cause a furore

For telling another Dail member to **** off?

That gets you sacked?

unparliamentary language

From Wiki:

In Dáil Éireann, the lower House in the Republic of Ireland, the Ceann Comhairle has ruled that it is disorderly for one TD to describe another as a brat, buffoon, chancer, communist, corner boy, coward, fascist, gurrier, guttersnipe, hypocrite, rat, scumbag, scurrilous speaker, or yahoo; or to insinuate that a TD is lying or drunk.

I think some of those are great
in particular 'guttersnipe' and 'yahoo'

orourkeda

Havent we little to be worrying about than some TD dropping a few F Bombs.

The country is almost bankrupted and here are people moaning about this.

Why does using unparlimentary language mean that he has "said something". It is part of this guy's job to maintain his composure, debate the issue and uphold the rules of the dail in doing so. He has lowered the standard of debate today to childish namecalling. Everyone in that room feels like saying f-off to everyone else but in order to progress beyond schoolyard politics they have to keep it in.

Saying Fúck does not a valid point make.

Fair play to him. That Stagg seemed like an arrogant twat. I'd do the same.

I think he just couldn't take it any more.

If you listen to what he said afterwards, he knows he isn't getting reelected, he's just trying to do his best while he's in there, and obviously he is finding it difficult.

I'd say it was genuine.
I know there have been one or two people I've wanted to say that to.

Fucking lol'd!

Paul Gogarty Banned for personal abuse

Fratton Fred

He's still a ****ing tree hugging hippie woos though.

Agricola

I said "fair play to him" too til i saw the clip. He seems like a petulent arse who just fell outta college and somehow into a Dail seat. Funny but unnecessary.

Stench Blossoms

I thought that was hilarious. I love his emphasis and head bounce when he says the f word.

Get Gordon Ramsey in there for a day and give him a run for his money :P

Please don't ban me...

PatrickD32

why not fair play?

He obviously lost his temper on an issue thats important.

The clip on news on tv show nothing but the cursing.

Heres a tiny bit of the clip online.

http://www.tv3.ie/article.php?article_id=27622&locID=1.2.&pagename=news

FAIR PLAY TO HIM!

Cursing might not have been best option but least it got attention it deserved, instead of another day in dial where no1 listens!

Its after getting everyones attention to isnt it?
How bout people read up on it now, as to why he got annoyed!

as for this poll (was he right to snap)
People snap day in day out, doesnt make it right or wrong, its part of being a human!

RayM

That was the weirdest delivery of "Fuck you" I've ever heard. I'm sure he intended to sound venomous, but it just came out like a schoolboy trying to look rebellious and get himself a detention.

If he has the qualities for it, I want this guy as Taoiseach. We'll finally have one with a pair of balls on him.

He sounds EXACTLY like David O'Doherty.

Sand

Excellent: I believe the standard of debate in the Dail has to improve when people playacting for the crowd are called on it, and given the abuse they deserve.

Everyone knows 4 billion was the minimum that had to be cut, everyone knew they were going to have to hit social welfare, everyone knew it was going to be "unfair".

Gogarty did Ireland and political discourse a favour. Pity more politicians cant be as direct and honest.

Greens still arent getting a vote though.

Funglegunk

If I was making an difficult decision and being very honest about the reasons for it (which I think Gogarty is), then I'd ****ing flip too if somebody started rudely interrupting me and questioning my integrity. I enjoyed his speech tbh, very honest of him.

dlofnep

How did he vote on it?
