The Candidate

TDs are gaslighting us about their holidays


Listen Later

The Dáil has wrapped up for the summer... again. But with a housing crisis, major legislation pending, and just 33 sitting weeks a year, should TDs still be clocking off this easily? Christine Bohan, Christina Finn, and Jane Matthews unpack whether Ireland’s political calendar is stuck in the past, and why a rethink of how the Dáil actually works should be on the cards.


Also: the Occupied Territories Bill is drawing increasingly sharp criticism from the US.
