What’s the biggest perk of being a first-time Dail TD? Making your maiden speech in Leinster House? Nominating your party leader for Taoiseach? Or being presented with a Gold Card for Coppers?
Fine Gael’s TD for Dublin North West, Noel Rock, revealed that his Coppers Gold Card arrived in the post soon after his election – though the Floating Voter team wanted to know if this had been declared in the register of interests and how much one of these cards was worth.
Fine Gael’s youngest TD also spoke about his three-time nomination for Enda Kenny, why he’s always quoting US Presidents, and what life is like as a 28 year old in politics.
