Busy politicians are only wasting their time

I AM surprised at someone as worldly-wise as Terry Prone making such a facile defence of ministers’ workloads (Irish Examiner, September 4).

She above all people should know there is a hell of a difference between intelligent, productive work schedules — using time, effort and resources to best effect — and running about all over the place like a headless chicken.

We all know that politicians are among the most active members of society.
