People Before Profit has called on Taoiseach Micheál Martin to explain why he deleted a tweeted video clip which echoes his remark in the Dail where he called People for Profit TDs "puppets for Putin".
Paul Murphy suggested that the comments were “slander”, but would not go as far as telling the Irish Mirror whether the party would consider suing Mr Martin over the comments.
Mr Murphy wrote to Ceann Comhairle Seán Ó Fearghaíl earlier this week demanding that the Taoiseach withdrew comments branding People Before Profit TDs “puppets for Putin”.
