Absentee politicians undermine the system

IT’S hard to believe that politicians are taking politics seriously given the amount of time they are taking off from the Oireachtas.

If this continues, we will have a meaningless political system of benefit only to public representatives.

Oireachtas holidays are orchestrated to obstruct real debate. This gives the Government plenty of breathing space to consult with their spindoctors in order to give a cleverly designed and belated response to serious questions.
