The vote has been pushed through with the government’s proposed reforms adopted.

Opposition leaders are meeting now in response. They are expected to speak to media after.

The Dáil is back with a bang - and has been suspended not once, but twice already.

That bang is a blazing row over speaking time, with Ceann Comhairle Verona Murphy suspending the Dáil after 26 minutes into its return.

‘Put Verona in the seat. What’s the worst that can happen?’

Update: There's now a phallic symbol, drawn in ketchup, where the cherry tomatoes once sat. Nature is healing.

Some people truly chicken fillet roll'd the tomato bridge thing to death.
