Why is the dail in a two week recess?

tom1ie · 2023-03-30 21:13:50

Just heard the dail is now in a two week recess. Why? Theres a few important things going on at the moment that could do with being discussed, not least the ending of the eviction ban- however all TD’s are on holidays, so how come they have holidays for two weeks?

Easter
Plus, they're not on holidays (necessarily) - they're just not attending Dáil sittings.

Eviction ban is gone, debates are done - it won't be discussed in the chamber again.
There has always been an Easter recess. TDs generally use the recesses to actually do constituency work rather than go on holiday.

Bi-location isn't a skill many people have managed.
