Barristers and solicitors fear the changes will hit their livelihoods, while a TD barrister noted the packed room was a clear sign of being unheard. OCallaghan’s quip about “crime not paying” drew criticism for being tone-deaf. Meanwhile, in the Dáil, Sinn Féin botched a vote on the cost of living amendment—voting against their own proposal after the Ceann Comhairle had to rephrase the question in English. A chaotic reminder that even well-intentioned reforms can unravel in the messy, multilingual halls of Irish politics.
