Irish Times Letter: Texting in the Dáil

I havent seen a good letter in the Times that has brought a smile to my face in a while so this one popped out of my Google Reader like a pen to paper when an assignment is due the following day. And while we are on the subject of the Dáíl, can somebody tell the TD's that they really need to be sitting in on all debates in order to make an informed decision.....OH WAIT sorry thats right we have the whip system.... its ok...my bad...

TEXTING INTHE DáIL

Madam, - Would someone tell Olwyn Enright of Fine Gael to stop texting
while on the front bench in the Dáil? It looks very bad - and I have never seen
any other TD do this.
The camera caught Ms Enright texting twice during the
course of the Oireachtas Reports I have seen since Christmas. Even children in
school are not allowed to use mobile phones during class! - Yours,
etc,
FLORENCE CRAVEN, Maynooth, Co Kildare.
