A Sinn Fein TD says the party must stop apologizing for IRA acts.
A Dáil committee sitting has been abandoned after a row over controversial comments made by a Sinn Féin TD.
Martin Browne says the party must stop apologizing for IRA acts and said he had called to the houses of party members to discuss their social media posts about Sinn Féin.
It comes after a party member resigned when someone called to her house to ask her to take down Tweets critical of Laois Offaly TD Brian Stanley.
The Public Petitions Committee had to adjourn when Chairman Martin Browne refused to address the issue - while Brendan Griffin and other Fine Gael TDs wouldn't continue until he did:
