Sinn Fein TD Pearse Doherty has been accused in the Dail by Tanaiste Leo Varadkar of having “abused and mistreated” a member of An Garda Siochana.
In explosive scenes between the pair, the Fine Gael leader hit back at the Donegal TD after “cheap shots” were exchanged during a debate on the cost of living crisis in the chamber.
Mr Doherty had referred to Mr Varadkar’s recent garda investigation, which the DPP is currently considering, over a proposed GP contract which Mr Varadkar leaked to a rival group.
