76 first-time deputies learn the ropes in ‘TD school’

“HI, I’m a new TD, what do I do?”

One of the 76 first-time members to the Dáil was unsure of stepping past its front gates yesterday and instead asked a garda on patrol out front for help.

The garda took her inside to the ushers, who appointed her a guide to show her around what will not only be her place of work for the next five years but a place where she will get a chance to shape the country’s future.
