    And my response to that would be that we've never stopped knocking on doors listening to you.

    the week before an election is the only time I've ever had contact with any level of politician/ councillor unless I have contacted them with a specific issue. And even then it was only their stooges, never themselves in person. My parents are exactly the same.

    Get a leaflet from one or two every so often telling me how great they are at getting things done in the area but that's about it.

    If a TD were to spend 2 hours every Monday and Friday night, and Saturday morning for 5 years canvassing, the likelihood is that they'd get to every door a maximum of 3/4 times. Couple that with the fact there's no guarantee you'll be there and there's every possibility at least one of your TDs has knocked on your door in the past 3 and a half years.
