Tanaiste Simon Harris got into a heated exchange with Sinn Féin TD Pearse Doherty during Leaders’ Questions yesterday, as Doherty accused the government of “disrespecting and vandalising” Irish history.
Doherty had asked why they’d chosen to open shops and offices in complex of the GPO on O’Connell Street, arguing that it was an inappropriate use of the historic building.
Sinn Fein TD for Louth Ruairi O Murchu spoke to us this morning on The Agenda this morning about this.
Recently on the programme we also spoke to Deputy O Murchú, who at the time said an \"interim solution\" needed to be found in the case of 86-year-old Michael McNeela, who has been refused the continuation of the Defence Forces pension paid to his late wife following the 1989 death of their son, Michael, on UN duty in the Lebanon.
We also got an update on the Michael McNeela case this morning after there were some developments yesterday.
