Enda broke Dáil rules when he called Gerry Adams a 'hypocrite'

The mood was tense in the Dáil as Enda Kenny faced questions from opposition TDs regarding the ongoing scandal related to the alleged smear campaign against garda whistleblower Maurice McCabe.
Things got heated between the Taoiseach and Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams, with Kenny calling Adams “a hypocrite” on two occasions.

Kenny is a fine example of a hypocrite himself.my god where do I start.

[@michaeldevaney5728]

Great point you are 700 percent correct ie damian

[@daisyduke4246]

This is far better to watch than Westminster

[@seanmaccionnaith3458]

For most of Kenny's life he has been living out of the pockets of the Irish tax payer's and any shortfall in that was made up from the weekly brown envelope collection that he was famous and well know for.

[@bmc784]

Enda should of looked after home first and every one before him and to follow who need to say sorry and get justice for all who suffered and all effected

[@ritchiemurphy2078]

Cahill did very well out of this, Kenny got a grand job as a senator!

[@SinfeinersCubanDevilera]

Garda Commissioner Drew Harris’ agreement with the PSNI, that the IRA Army Council still oversees both Sinn Fein and the IRA.The issue has made headlines after Sinn Fein topped the poll in the recent southern general election and is now one of the top three parties vying to form a Dublin government.The PSNI has repeatedly gone on record in recent months to say that its assessment that the IRA Army Council still oversees Sinn Fein and the IRA has not changed since an official government report in 2015.The report stated that Sinn Fein continues to be overseen by the IRA which although much reduced in scale and “committed to the peace process”, still has “specific” departments and regional command structures”, gathers intelligence, retains weapons and has been involved in isolated incidents of violence, including murders IRA members have been linked to 36 murders since the Good Friday Agreement

Kenny used to spend some weekends in Dublin and London dressing up as a woman.

So what if he did but other guy spent his on a spree

Great job Mr Adams.....

[@shaneconaty1731]

Enda Kenny talking down to another politician is rich, the man is partly responsible for the demise of this country's economy

[@oliver69cork46]

Shane Conaty the economy was destroyed by fianna fail governments not necessarily enda kenny,certainly he imposed austerity which hit the vulnerable hardest whilst taking away his and others big political salaries. but how many politicians protest this? as to sinn fein and gerry Adams,the most dubious, shady and crooked political force maybe ever.eve support th nazis in ww2. Adams has blood on his hands,denies he was a member of the ira,naturally to avoid justice. Kenny at least is crystal clean compared to Adams or practically any other in Dail Eireann.

[@daireoreilly2586]

Ha! What's rich is u suggesting that Ends Kenny is responsible for the demise of the countries economy. Whether you like his policies or not our economy has gone from being one of the worst hit in the world after the crash to being the fastest growing in Europe three years running so to suggest that he destroyed our economy is absolutely delusional and laughable. Yes! Kennys the bad guy in this scenario to break Dail rules when Adams has literally murdered people.

[@swinephrog6428]

There was absolutely nothing he could do about the recession

[@swaglad9728]

Enda wasnt in power lad when the recession hit

[@laidir1000]

Is this the former-Taoiseach whose former Min for Justice described as having "... a casual relationship with the truth!"?

[@olieahern1318]

Bit rich coming from Kenny when they promised to the people that they would see a new type of politics after the recession laughable when they showed there two faces. Wheres Kenny now only sitting on his big pension.
