# Most unparliamentary
'F***ing desperate': Fianna Fáil TD drops an f-bomb in the Dáil
Robert Troy used some most unparliamentary language in the Dáil this morning.
FIANNA FÁIL TD Robert Troy was caught on mic describing a situation as “f***ing desperate” in the Dáil earlier today.
The Longford-Westmeath deputy was chairing this morning’s debate on the Social Welfare Bill while his party colleague Willie O’Dea was speaking.
