"dickhead" such unparliamentary language. /Sarcasm.

Funny enough, if you Google "TD bad language" this article in the Irish Times is the first result.

Specifically this paragraph, where they state has to be "one of the most offensive statements ever made in the Dail"

Was.....

You guessed it guys.

Here is something a bit more recent.

Never a good idea for a SF poster to bring anti-Semitism into a discussion!

SF councillor uses word "dickhead" in reference to colleague. What sort of people are they putting forward?

Maybe he was a dickhead

Can't really say things like that in work though. Storm in a tea cup all the same.

Well, 30 years ago, SF and their pals, the PIRA would be planning to murder him, so I guess name-calling is progress.

You need a new hobby. The hurt that Sinn Fein are now wanted by the people of the nation more than Fine Gael is hard to take.

In fairness in a game of anti-Semitism top thrumps SF will easily win.

The newer generation such as Browne and Cronin seem to be your traditional anti-Semites.

Previously I would not of thought the party were anti-Semitic and that they just seen parallels between NI and Palestine. Or maybe I wasn't paying enough attention. O'Snod has form in this area.

It wasn't a "game of anti semitism" though.

There was an article referencing a shinner calling another lad a dickhead, I posted that it was unparliamentary, then quoted the Irish times assertion of "the most offensive statements in the Dail"

They singled out OJ Flanagans anti Semite rant JH, the Irish times did.

If you want to try and trump it, get on to them boss.

Like Leo having his 'pops' in the Dáil against the shinners, the lads have ended up exposing more about FG. Never knew about Daddy Flanagan's intemperate rant. Cheers McMurphy.

Paddy Holohan at it again.

I think a party such as FG born from antisemetism tops that one.

If we are generalising, how about Varadkar being called 'autistic'?

SF anti-Semitism is current though. Browne and Cronin postings on social media perfect examples. Snod has been at it for years.

He's an idiot. I see he likened his situation to Caroline Flack, just like Maria Bailey. Awful.

Question is, why is he still in the party? Why was he put forward for mayor?

If true that's terrible. If true. Varadkar, (not 'autistic') says SF they don't like white males, so I guess white women and black people are the demographic?
FG Councilor O'Leary is current. He admires the blueshirts. Can't get more blatant IMO.

No idea. He talks awful ****e and comes across as ignorant.

Much like Conlon in NI they want a bit of their x factor for young voters and turn a blind eye to their indiscretions.

Wouldn't been the first time a gombeen was allowed stay in a party because of popularity. Don't condone it.

Christ almighty, I thought they put him back in his box.

Maybe he is smoking something, because that is the most deluded sh!t I have heard in a very long time.

Just waiting for the whataboutery to arrive.

The only thing that they can counter with is some rant from the 1940s, so no matter how far-fetched it is, that is what they do.

Counter what?
Oliver J. was welcomed and in the party his entire life. Served up to the 60's I believe.
Councilor O'Leary is current.

Holohan hasn't found a cure for his stupidity. Not unusual among councillors around the country. A few notable examples in these parts.

Oliver would be one of the revered, by Fine Gael, I would have thought.

Did his son the RIC/tan admirer no harm anyway.

No comments at all on anti-Semitism in SF in the present day ?
