Mary Lou McDonald and Sinn Féin
Today’s scenes in the Dáil, which saw Mary Lou McDonald and Sinn Féin refuse to leave the chamber despite the Ceann Comhairle’s request, have once again thrust Sinn Féin to the centre of the debate.
The reaction tomorrow, including to the statement of no confidence in Sean Barrett by Sinn Féin – is sure to see a number of sharp exchanges in the press between opposing TDs tomorrow.
The Weather

Met Eireann forecast: Heavy rain continuing in many areas tomorrow morning. It will gradually clear northwards with winds easing and showers following, some of them heavy. Highest temperatures of 10 to 13 degrees.
