In an interview with the Irish Independent, Sean Ó Fearghaíl said it was sad that TDs were “so addicted to their mobile phones that they cannot leave them outside”.
His comments come six months after the chamber's sound system was upgraded, so that microphones are now immune from mobile phone interference.
Tipperary Independent TD Mattie McGrath thinks a block is too harsh.
