The Daily PollWHILE DEBATING THE Protection of Life Bill in Leinster House over the past two weeks the behaviour of two male politicians raised some eyebrows.
The first, when Tom Barry TD grabbed colleague Áine Collins and sat her on his lap. The second, when Senator David Norris told Regina Doherty TD she was “talking through her fanny”.
Although Barry apologised and Norris withdrew his remarks, a lecturer in Politics at the University of Limerick, Maura Adshead, wrote in TheJournal.ie today that these instances show that sexism is “alive and well” at Leinister House.
But what do you think? Poll: Do you think there is sexism in Leinster House?

Second fastest of the night and was challenging the favourite right till the end. Looks good for a medal.
Well done to her, our first decent swimmer since Michelle Smith
@qffaffaf affrafrfraf: Ah yeah, the druggie.
@John Moore: Ah stop John, Michelle was a great woman for one woman. Medals were never stripped from her.
@John Moore: Never got some for doping. They said she tampered with the urine sample but had no evidence, probably wouldn’t be upheld on appeal today. They wanted to get at De Bruin her husband.
Well done Mona.. great achievement.. best of luck bringing home a medal !

@9QRixo8H: I never bother reading your juvenile gutter ramblings,like I get it …it’s just low IQ lonely trolling but I must say your derogatory insensitive crap on an article about the passing of the late ( & great) novelist Enda O Brien ( R.I.P.) did hit a new low
@9QRixo8H: a gobsh*te trifecta right there
@D. Peado: get a life

If she wins gold the greens will blame it on Global warming.
