Fianna Fáil criticises calls for cap on TDs’ tenure in the Dáil

Fianna Fáil has hit out at suggestions that TDs should be limited to serving a maximum of two Dáil terms.

It comes after junior minister Sean Canney told the Irish Examiner that he believes TDs do not have a “divine right” to a seat in Leinster House and should be capped at spending two terms or 10 years in the Dáil.

Reacting to the comments Fianna Fáil chief whip, Michael Moynihan said Mr Canney had ignored the real changes needed to make politics work better.
