Councillor Mannix Flynn stormed out of a Dublin City Council meeting screaming "how dare you" during a debate on establishing a memorial on a Magdalene laundry site.
The incident was condemned by other councillors who said it was "unacceptable" while acknowledging Cllr Flynn's experience in an industrial school. The matter will be referred to the Protocol Committee.
The Council was debating whether they should hand over the site on Sean McDermott Street to the Office of Public Works to be turned into a "site of conscience."
