Dáil Row: 'I Am Speechless Listening To This Nonsense'

A shouting match broke out in the Dáil last night as TDs debated branded hour contracts.
The motion, put forward by Sinn Féin, called for workers to have the right to request increased hours and employers to have an obligation to consider this request.
When Sinn Féin TD Louise O’Reilly, a long-time trade union activist, took to the floor of the Dáil, she launched a scathing attack on Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil.
"I very rarely find myself in a situation where I am speechless. I am speechless this evening listening to the nonsense coming from both sides of this house."

Still Searching TDs are generally either in their office or working in their constituencies. Every office in the Dáil has a cheap TV that plays the debates into the office, so unless TDs are speaking or have a key role in an issue, they'll watch from their office as they work. Just because they're not seated doesn't mean they're not watching!

They should all be there though.... Sorry I'm American but it only seems fair that everyone should be there to listen and debate... Yes it may take you away from your states and perspective districts.. I've always argued about having representatives and senators going in to debate on the weekends when usual business hours for the rest of us are done. Let them spend 5 or 6 days in their districts and states, gather information and listen to local and any feedback. Then take it all back to the capital and make your decisions accordingly.

The Business Heads who claim Free Market is about innovation, competition for best products and services know well the utility of low wages and insecure work as a method of Wealth Extraction, and Zero Hours contracts are designed with that in mind. Feck making better products, just gouge the workers! Disaster Capitalism at work... FG and FF have long been Oligarchy placemen. Same across the EU and UK and USA, the great bastions of 'freedom!'.... With Climate Disruption looming, we need Governments populated by the people, not the oligarchy. We need to regulate Wealth Extraction, Pollution, Environmental Degradation and demand Legislation that forces industry to pay to prevent pollution etc,,, and put the community before the shareholders..

But that's not all you'll also receive your very own personal body guard in the form of a Gardi. But wait there's more! Enjoy the benefits of your very own pub right within walking distance. And best of all it's all on the tax payers shoulders. So why wait come on down to the Dail and be a T.D, today!
