For me, he was using his daughter as a prop. Look at us, us Greens, our decision to collapse the Government is driven by our concern for children.
Whatever about bringing your child to work, parking her on a table in front of national and international media is, IMHO, reprehensible.
His one Dail income, whatever about that of his (solicitor) wife, far exceeds my own. We were always able to manage to pay for professional childcare, unlike the Gogartys who seem to prefer to capitalise on the indulgence of a grandparent.
