This is just typically of politicians!! We're currently in one of the worse economical times and away they go for a 5 week break. I know they wont stop working as Mary Coughlan said but................still!!

"Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny said it was perverse and outrageous that TDs would not return until the end of January. He said the country is in a national crisis. He proposed the Daíl return on 7 January."

Would have to agree. I cant imagine anybody in the higher levels of the Private sector taking a 5 week christmas break and all they are in charge of are companies with turnovers employees and shareholders not a ****ing country for god's sake.

Look, if they're sitting there its just the usual pathetic attempts at point-scoring, attempts at populist nonsense and Sh/ite talk anyway.

Best thing this government could do for us is take a permanent break...

Its 39 days, that is even longer than 5 weeks.

They should take the same holidays as the rest of us. Many seem to be back in on the 5th of January. So should they.

I'm no fan of the current government, but it is hardly a 'holiday' in the sense the newspapers are putting it. They will still be attending to constituency and regular minesterial work, just not convening for debates.

Whats the problem? Its not as if the debating was achieving anything

I'd agree only for the country would probably be better off with out them running things.

If you ever watched an Oireachtas report on TV you'd know that all that would be missed is a few weeks of talking shoite.
