I work hard and pay my taxes. I want those taxes to benefit society - go towards solving our current homeless crisis, not a bar tab. Politicians work little enough hours as it is without time off for hangovers.(Dublin, 2017-08-01)

TDs must be sober to be able to make decisions that can determine the Irish Nations AFFAIRS & peoples lives. Plus it is a waste of tax payers money that could be used for homelessness health water roads waste and the improvement of so many under resourced services that this and previous governments have drastically cutback.(BALLYBOFEY, 2017-08-01)

If i can get fired for coming to work drunk, then they should have no access to a bar. They are meant to be making important decisions about ireland not sitting around having a few pints. It is their job not a fun house.(galway, 2017-08-01)

Close the bar(Dublin, 2017-08-01)

They are making important decisions for the ordinary people of Ireland. If they want a drink, go to their local pubs after work and pay for their own drinks! This country is a disgrace, people homeless, kids with special needs ignored, hospital waiting lists growing by the day, I could go on but I'm not letting this government get to me.(Cork, 2017-08-01)

The government is a massive joke with or without alcohol. These cretins if I can even call them that have done massive harm to our country. Useless individuals than steal from the common man and then claim they have trouble paying for their drinks. Ireland is becoming a massive joke and it is caused by these people and their behaviour.(Galway, 2017-08-01)
#242
Nobody gets to drink on the job. They are bpaid by us to represent us so it's high time they start acting like all the other working Irish citizens. Would love to tackle their expenses and pensions too but this is a good start.(Meath, 2017-08-01)

No need for a bar in a workplace, I also strenuously object to the bar bill being written off, the taxpayers are footing the bill. The TDS and Senators that haven't paid should be named and shamed! They are paid enough to pay their bar bills!(Moone, 2017-08-01)
#253
