Junior Minister calls for 10-year limit for TDs in office

Politicians should serve a maximum of two terms in the Dáil because anything longer is bad for politics, writes Elaine Loughlin of the Irish Examiner.

Minister of State with responsibility for the OPW Seán Canney believes TDs do not have a “divine right” to a seat in Leinster House and, like the President of Ireland, should be capped at spending two terms or 10 years in the Dáil.
