Mary Lou McDonald tells RTE that Brian Stanley "should man up and take responsibility for his own behaviour".

Brian Stanley will struggle to keep his mouth shut after this provocation.

The Sinn Féin/Brian Stanley political melodrama continues. My lawyers tell me I’m not allowed to say what happened. Tempting as it is.

You can dress this up however you want. Visit Victoria's Secret on Grafton Street and buy some lingerie, then go to Brown Thomas and buy some knee-high boots. But the political translation here is that Mary Lou just told Brian Stanley where to go. Mary Lou leaned into the microphone and, with a smirk, said he should “man up and take responsibility for his own. behaviour” on national TV.

He can hardly stay silent now.
