Nothing adds up as TDs missing in inaction
Given that the deputies were freshly back from their well deserved three-week Easter break after putting in six days’ hard graft at the tail-end of March following their mere two-week long vacation for St Patrick’s Day, you might have been forgiven for believing the TDs would be eager to re-engage in the grand ideological battle of ideas.
But, no, just 34% managed to drag themselves into the chamber for Leader’s Questions – the main showpiece parliamentary event of the week – some 11% more were missing, lost in the Continental volcanic dust, which left the majority – 55% – just missing in inaction.
