Ireland delays selection of prime minister as parliament erupts in row
- The selection of a new Taoiseach in Ireland was delayed due to chaos in the Dáil over speaking time rules, leading to multiple suspensions called by Speaker Verona Murphy.
- Micheal Martin of Fianna Fáil was expected to become Taoiseach after securing a coalition with Fine Gael and independent TDs, but opposition parties opposed the arrangement.
- The opposition, including Sinn Féin, protested the government's plan to allow pro-government independents to speak during their time, causing further disruptions.
- The Dáil is set to reconvene on Thursday to continue the nomination process, with the outcome likely favoring Martin's appointment as Taoiseach.
