ieExplains: What can and can't be said in the Dáil?

Simon Harris, Micheál Martin and Jack Chambers, in the Dail chamber. During last Wednesday's session of Leaders' Questions, Mary Lou McDonald challenged Mr Martin on the Government's housing record and as the exchange went on, he accused her of 'telling lies again', stating that the opposition leader was 'ag insint bréaga arís' on the topic of housing.

You may also have wondered; what has everybody so exercised? It's not a bad question, given the sheer scale of the opprobrium seen during Wednesday's session of Leaders' Questions.
