Green’s Ryan defends Ahern’s Dáil absence
Mr Ahern skipped his regular Dáil duty to deliver an address at the Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU) conference in Donegal, a decision Fine Gael described as showing “absolute contempt” for the parliament.
When in Opposition, the Green Party repeatedly called for reforms to ensure greater accountability to the Dáil and shorter holidays for TDs.
