Stephen Donnelly (Wicklow, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I wish to say three things. First, the Cathaoirleach and I were elected to Dáil Éireann on the same day in 2011. I have sat through and participated in many debates in the Dáil and in the Seanad, as has he. Some of those debates have been very difficult and some have been very divisive. Never until now have I seen a Member of Dáil Éireann or Seanad Éireann openly mock people in the Gallery.I am not referring to his initial outrageous comments but to his allusion to this not being the Stella Cinema and to people not being allowed to react.
