So in a democracy where Enda Kenny TD is elected to represent his constituents
Surely he would have to be briefed/updated with local issues though. I'd prefer his time to be spent on national issues rather than moving a telephone pole or the installation of a pedestrian crossing.Enda Kenny doesn't write all those letters himself. His constituency staff do, and are funded by the taxpayer to do so.
The day in 1987 when outgoing Tanaiste Dick Spring only held on to his seat by 4 votes was the day politicians learned that no how high you go in Irish politics, you must never neglect your constituency work.
Yeah guys, the letter was signed by an Taoiseach, on his department's official letterhead, a bit different from a local TD lashing out an auld letter on behalf of some chappie looking for a job.
in that case maybe the elected official may feel his time is wasted when he knocks on my door looking for a vote..
