Calling time on two decades’ service

TWO significant retirements from Dáil Éireann were marked this week one political dynasty continues while another Cork family severed links with Leinster House.

As the 29th Dáil dissolved on Sunday, it brought an end to the careers of now ex-TDs Dan Wallace and Joe Sherlock.

Both were first elected in the turbulent early ’80s and had decided not to contest the 2007 election.
