  Anger over speaking time led to fractious rows in the chamber, and the Dáil was suspended four times in one day last month

In a scathing letter, Taoiseach Simon Harris criticized Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald and the opposition for their behavior in the Dáil, accusing them of engaging in "performative anger" and "shouting matches" rather than constructive debate. Harris highlighted the opposition's tactics of filibustering and obstructing government business, particularly during a session where they attempted to block the passage of the EU Migration and Asylum Pact. He expressed frustration over the lack of substantive engagement on policy issues, instead pointing out the opposition's focus on creating political drama. This letter comes amidst ongoing tensions in Irish politics, with Harris urging for a more respectful and productive parliamentary environment.
