You are allowed use the F*ck word in the Dail.

Run_to_da_hills

According to this report the F*uck word is not banned from parlamentary vocabularly. The list of words and phrases which are deemed inappropriate for use in the Dáil is to be updated which will no doubt include the F word.

I think the list was last updated in the 19th century.

Good old wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unparliamentary_language#Ireland

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, fruit booty, west middleton towel dropper, dunny dancer, morton's steam peddler, cab stander, uptown nightie boy, old farmer's hand warmer, batty boy, lucker tucker, coward, fascist, gurrier, guttersnipe, hypocrite, rat, scumbag, scurrilous speaker, or yahoo; or to insinuate that a TD is lying or drunk; or has violated the secrets of cabinet, or doctored an official report.[5] Also, the reference to "handbagging", particularly with reference to a female member of the House, has been deemed to be unparliamentary.[6] The Dáil maintains a document, Salient Rulings of the Chair which covers behaviour in and out of the House by TDs; section 428 of this lists unparliamentary speech. [7] [8] In December 2009, Paul Gogarty apologised in advance for using "unparliamentary language" prior to shouting "Fuck you!" at an opposition chief whip.[7] This phrase was not one of those listed explicitly as inappropriate, prompting calls for a review.[9]

Danbo!

From sky news

taboo vocabulary includes: brat; buffoon; communist; coward; fascist; guttersnipe; hypocrite; rat; scumbag; scurrilous and yahoo.

So you call someone a shit fucking cuntbag no problem

admiralofthefleet

im going to call everyone an old farmers hand warmer from now on

Odd how "communism" and "fascism" isn't allowed, but "capitalism" is perfectly grand (I like capitalism, but it has more undertones of American influence and the Cold War in general). No wonder WW2 was called "The Emergency".

Coward is an odd one. I'm pretty sure I've heard people in the Dail calling each other cowards all the time.

It's strange how **** or anything isn't on the list. Maybe they're just so obvious they didn't?

Mostly because it's very rare that those words are used in anything but the pejorative sense, while if you tried to insult someone by calling them a capitalist they'd tell you to cut your hair and get a job.

mink_man

no one ever said it was banned, its just unparliementary!

K-Ren

That's funny, I didn't see 'policy' on the list.

namloc1980

From the wiki link the Canadian unparliamentary language is hilarious as well: "a trained seal", "evil genius", "weathervane" or my favourite "Canadian Mussolini" .

CrazyRabbit

It should be banned. The thought of politicians ****ing in the Dail is a disturbing one indeed.

But communism is a legitimate political philosophy (insert reply about Holodomor/gulag/etc) so it's like banning "neoliberal" or
"right-wing".

Nobody wants to see what the resulting offspring of Mary Harney and Brian Cowen would look like!

...or to insinuate that a TD is lying...

A politician, lying? With their reputation? :eek:

jimmycrackcorm

Just sent off an email to Gogarty recommending that he switch insults to calling the opposition ****. Especially as technically it would probably be true unless some of them have problems getting it up in which case they can object to the Ceann Comhairle on medical grounds.

Stop being such a west middleton towel dropper.

I retract my statement and apologise for my most unparliamentry language.

Edit: and EVERYONE got there first.

Look, if someone is being called a communist or a fascist in the Dail, you can bet it's not a statement of face as to their political leanings.

And you know, I'd be fine with listing those words as unparliamentary as well. Because nobody uses those words in anything but a piss poor attempt at an insult.

batty boy

Now when was that added?! :pac:

Porkpie

Calling someone a coward is unparliamentary. Calling them a c*nt isn't. Hmmm.

alias06

What does "old farmer's hand warmer" actually mean? And "morton's steam peddler"? And "lucker tucker"? And "west middleton towel dropper"?
