A TD was interrupted in the Dáil earlier this afternoon - by his own Christmas necktie.

Sinn Féin's Aengus Ó Snodaigh was using his allocated time to raise concerns about asbestos within the Leinster House complex.

He began his comments by wishing everyone else in the chamber a happy Christmas.

However, his full contribution was interrupted after his Christmas tie burst into song.
