TDs accuse Fianna Fáil of ‘farce’ over mid-term break vote

The claim was made after a Dáil row erupted when Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin said the mid-term break sends out “the wrong signal completely”, despite being told that his party colleagues did not oppose the move last week.
Under plans agreed by the business committee last Wednesday, the Dáil was due to take an 11-day break until November 8, with the lost time made up at the end of December.
