FIANNA FÁIL LEADER Michéal Martin has asked Timmy Dooley and Niall Collins to step down temporarily from their positions on the party’s frontbench.
The Ceann Comhairle ordered a report into the incident yesterday after Dooley, a Clare TD, said that fellow party member Collins cast a number of votes for him while he was absent from the Dáil chamber. I don’t think it’s acceptable. I agree with the Ceann Comhairle that the integrity of the voting situation in Dáil Éireann is of the utmost importance, must be protected, and must be respected at all times.
Speaking on a special Brexit edition of the RTÉ Radio One Morning Ireland programme, Calleary said that he “welcomes” the fact that the matter will be investigated by the Ceann Comhairle.Dooley said Limerick TD Niall Collins pushed his voting button on his behalf as he believed Dooley was still in the chamber.
As leader Michéal you don’t ‘ask’ you ‘dictate/order/lead’ you tell them to stand down! fiannafailparty MichealMartinTD
Dooley is normally so 'Holier than thou.' Now he's been caught with his hand in the cookie jar. He should be fired!!! fiannafailparty

Ceann Comhairle orders 'urgent' probe after FF TD's Dáil votes recorded despite him being absentClare TD Timmy Dooley said a fellow party member cast a number of votes for him while he was absent from the Dáil chamber on Thursday. Two offenders so. A misunderstanding, a collision between the truth and lies. Wonder how many times he has claimed expenses while being absent

Fianna Fáil deputy leader 'welcomes' probe into Dooley Dáil vote incidentDooley has faced criticism after he said that a fellow party member cast a number of votes for him while he was absent from the Dáil. If someone else clocked u in/out of work & you were not present they would be sacked. Who was messing with the vote system? Would he be open to both tds being struck from the parliament I wonder? And what about the hundreds of previous votes where this is also likely to have happened? No vote in the Dail can be trusted.
