The Dáil passed a motion affirming confidence in Ceann Comhairle Ms. Murphy by a vote of 96 to 71, following opposition criticisms of her role in altering speaking times. Despite the opposition's no-confidence motion, Murphy stated she bears no ill will and remains open to discussions. Taoiseach Micheál Martin criticized the opposition for their tactics, suggesting they were engaged in disruptive strategies. The events unfolded amidst a heated parliamentary atmosphere and highlighted tensions over governance and procedural authority.
I wish to assure all members on all sides of this House, I bear no ill will and my door is always open.
