While speaking on RTE's morning Ireland from Cork, Fianna Fáil TD Billy Kelleher said he was going to attend today's sitting in the Dail
Maybe it's just me but when he was asked, I detected a slight pause before he boasted he'd be there
I imagine him thinking "Feck, now I'll have to cancel ??????????"
Am I too cynical or what do you think Billy had to cancel
Listen to the interview HERE, it's quite short
I heard him perpetuating the Fianna Fail lie about it costing one hundred grand to open the Dail for the day alright. Another Cork Fianna Fail g0bsh1te. What is it with Fianna Fail TDs from Cork?

The last thing you need is some FFer who has the look of a man who did very well out of being a junior minister up to 12 months ago giving any sort of opinion.
He got well stung on the VHI question as it is the exact same policy his government have been following for the last 10 years ie: increase the cost of private beds in public hospitals. He did not seem to offer an alternative strategy apart from now opposing it!
According to the Oireachtas web site schedule for this week HERE the Dail is sitting today from 10:30 to 13:30.
According to the AA route planner it will take deputy Kellaher 2 hours and 52 minutes to get to Kildare street, so starting at 9:00 and assuming he doesn't make any stops he should be in the chamber by approximitly 13:00, allowing him 30 minutes to contribute before the Dáil adjourns.
WELL DONE BILLY
I got the same impression from Kelleher.
He is correct, however. Dragging 165 TDs from every corner of the country to hear private members motions from the Opposition benches is ridiculous.
If there are to be sittings on Fridays, Government legislation should be on the agenda.
A demagogue is someone who will preach doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots.
God forbid they'd have to work on a friday.
Billy didn't sound too keen on it.
I believe that children are the future
Unless we stop them now.
If I was in charge the Dail would sit on the following days and times:
Mon: 2 to 6 4 Hours
Tues: 10 to 6 7 Hours (Lunch 1 Hour)
Wed: 10 to 6 7 Hours (Lunch 1 Hour)
Thurs: 10 to 6 7 Hours (Lunch 1 Hour)
Fri: 10 to 1 3 Hours
28 Hours per week, ample time to debate motions and examine legislation and it gives country TD's time to travel.
Closed 2 Weeks at Christmas and 2 Weeks in summer.

Most of a TDs work is done outside the Dail.
Having to sit around waiting to vote on opposition motions means they do less work.
