The Irish Examiner View: Reality biting for Taoiseach candidates

Fans of reality television may be tempted to break out the popcorn and tune in today to the Oireachtas channel to watch live parliamentary shenanigans, as the 33rd Dáil convenes.

After all, in common with active audience participation in shows like Big Brother and the X-Factor, we have just voted for our very own reality TD stars and there is nothing like getting your money’s worth.
