Danny Healy-Rae told to 'f**k off' by TD after child gender jibe

The row erupted during a debate on the Finance Bill when Healy-Rae and Murphy got tangled in a disagreement over abolishing Universal Social Charge (USC).

Deputy Healy-Rae said: 'What do you know? Sure you do not know whether your own son, baby is a boy or a girl.' This remark sparked outrage among other TDs.

Deputy Murphy responded to Deputy Healy-Rae by saying 'F**k off' and calling him a 'F**king asshole', illustrating the heated nature of the exchange.

Deputy Healy-Rae was branded a 'disgrace' by other TDs who called on him to withdraw the remark, which he initially defended before later retracting.
