Truant TDs set to be shamed on internet

TRUANT TDs and senators will be named and shamed when their attendance records are made public for the first time from next month.

The attendance records of politicians at Leinster House will be released on the internet, following the introduction of the new Oireachtas clocking-in system earlier this year.

A spokesman for the Houses of the Oireachtas confirmed the records of 133 TDs and 60 senators under the system would “go live” in September.
