Lisa Chambers, the Fianna Fáil spokeswoman on Brexit, told The Irish Times she sat in the seat normally occupied by Dara Calleary, who was absent at the time. Fianna Fáil deputy leader Dara Calleary was not in the Dáil at the time of the vote. Earlier on Sunday, Ms Chambers told RTÉ she had never voted for a colleague nor had a colleague vote for her. She told The Irish Times: “On Thursday last I inadvertently sat in the wrong seat in the Dáil during voting time. I sat in Dara Calleary’s seat, which is beside my seat.
