South Donegal Deputy Marc MacSharry faces suspension from the Dail if he fails to apologise to Leas-Cheann Comhairle Catherine Connolly.
The Dáil’s Committee on Procedures and Privileges ratified a ruling by Ceann Comhairle Sean Ó Fearghail that Deputy MacSharry should be suspended for two days if he does not apologise over his criticism of Deputy Connolly.
According to the Independent, a complaint was lodged by Donegal Deputy Thomas Pringle after Deputy MacSharry accused the Leas-Cheann Comhairle of discriminating against him during Dáil debates and not giving him as much speaking time as other Independent TDs.
