Shortly after the exchange, the 36-year-old was ejected from the chamber.

Mayor of South County Dublin, Mark Ward, who chaired the meeting said: "She was quite angry and aggressive and she was roaring and shouting demanding an apology..."

"I said to the chamber, we didn't have to allow people to come in an speak members to have a nomination. We could have done that in their absence."
