WATCH: Striking firefighter's pager handed in Dáil protest to Government Minister

A Sinn Féin TD has handed the pager of a striking firefighter to a Government Minister in the Dáil.

Sinn Fein’s John Brady and the Social Democrats’ Jennifer Whitmore were given alerter pagers by the firefighters who asked them to deliver them to Minister Darragh O’Brien, so he could experience the demands they were under. 

Dep Brady left his seat in the Dáil and handed the pager to the Minister during questioning of the minister and how he plans to settle the strike.

The Ceann Comhairle condemned the action as 'outrageous and not to be encouraged'.
