When Ireland South MEP Mick Wallace used bad language in the European Parliament two weeks ago he was interrupted and chastised by the president of the parliament and told such language was not allowed in the parliament.
When Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou LcDonald used a profanity in Dáil Éireann on Thursday, the first day of the 33rd Dáil, there was not a whimper from anyone. Not a word from the newly elected ceann comharle/speaker of the parliament, Seán Ó Fearghaíl.
What does it say about our parliamentarians, about our country?
Does it augur well for the future.
Does a new normal apply?
