The four-hour sit-in staged by Sinn Féin Deputy Mary-Lou McDonald was not the only memorable incident at Dáil Eireann today.
Independent TD Mick Wallace took his seat in the main chamber this morning and got down to business. The Wexford native happened to be nattily turned out in the World Cup jersey Italy that sported during their brief stay at the tournament this summer.
Today FM’s political correspondent Gavan Reilly was quick off the mark.
