    OMG what a collection :rolleyes:

    Not sure who of the current bunch ?

    Didn't the government have to back down on cafebars because of a backbench rebellion? I know there are other TD's like John Perry in Sligo who owns a supermarket and presumably makes money from that, whether he is managing it or not.

    Is it unusual for an opposition TD to have another job and practice as a TD. Surely he/she should only do one or the other. E.g. a TD who practices as a Doctor also??:rolleyes:

    Normal practise. After all, he might only get a few years as TD, why should he quit his 9 - 5?
