Daly suggested Barack Obama was a war criminal as he "facilitated a 200 per cent increase in the use of drones which have killed thousands of people, including hundreds of children".

The Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, dismissed her comments as "disgraceful".[73][74]

  • 27 June – Senator David Norris spoke out against the abolition of Seanad Éireann, describing it as "a fraud perpetrated on the Irish people". Norris also criticised the government's attempt to reduce further the powers of the presidency, to make it "impossible" for an independent to get elected and to create more "jobs for the bloody boys the ones who dragged us into the ruins of this economy". Norris, as Father of the Seanad, called again for the Taoiseach, Enda Kenny – a "democrat who wouldn't recognise democracy if it came up and puked in his face" – to debate the matter with him, vowing to "peel the layers of dishonesty and populism away from him and show the Irish people what's really being done to them so they won't be fooled another time until they know what way to vote".[76][77]
  • 29 June – Thirty thousand people attended the annual gay pride parade in Dublin, the climax of a ten-day festival that marked three milestones: the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Irish Gay Movement, the 30th occasion of the gay pride parade, and the 20th anniversary of the decriminalisation of homosexuality in Ireland.[78]

  • 2 July – Requests for asylum and asylum assistance were made to 19 countries, including Ireland, on behalf of American whistleblower, Edward Snowden, who was stuck in the international transit lounge of Sheremetyevo International Airport in Moscow.

  • 15 July – Senator David Norris told Seanad Éireann that Fine Gael TD Regina Doherty was "talking through her fanny" [vulva]: "I object in the strongest possible way to the idea that someone who has spent years in the House should have to listen to the Regina monologue from someone who has not been a wet weekend in the Oireachtas and is talking through her fanny". Norris was angry at Doherty's remarks during the launch of her party's referendum campaign to abolish the Seanad.[86]

When he complained to TV3 executive Ben Frow, Browne said he was "just amused at my indignation, which meant I couldn't get anywhere with it".[91][92]
