    He was late to answer a question and resigned in shame.

    Wouldn't it be a breath of fresh air if some of our politicians would resign for more serious issues.

    We have liars and tax cheats who brazenly stand in Leinster House as though nothing is wrong...and we keep putting them back in.

    Is it time for things to change?

    Top class Tories resign at the drop of a hat, the salary and the pension is pocket change to them.
    George Osborne just strolled away and had 5 better paid jobs lined up a week later.

    Lord Bates offer to resign was refused, and he is free to use the title of Master
