Theres no need for a bar in the workplace

(Dublin, 2017-08-01)

#203

I think if it remains open it should be open to everyone and not kept as a private club

(Dublin, 2017-08-01)

#204

I work and pay tax, it's not responsible to have a bar in the workplace. Politicians should lead by example.

(Carlow, 2017-08-01)

#205

I'm sick and tired of my (PAYE Contributios) been abused..

(Dublin, 2017-08-01)

#209

A disgusting waste of tax payers money

(Dublin, 2017-08-01)

#210

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)

#215

Nobody else can drink and work

(Dublin, 2017-08-01)

#216

I am sick of greedy politicians benefiting from tax payers money

(Dublin, 2017-08-01)

#217

Wasters the lot of them and none of them represent me or mine

(Navan, 2017-08-01)

#218

#224

I'm signing because I am tired of the old boys club which seems to exist within politics in Ireland.

Apart from barmen No other work place has a bar in it , it's a joke , no wonder the country is in crisis too many people nibbling at the sherry

(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)

#229

TDs should have a canteen like every other employee.

(Dublin, 2017-08-01)

#231

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)

#232

I'm just sick of our so called government milking this country for all they can get for themselves...go buy your own beer you earn enough to afford it...

(Dublin, 2017-08-01)

#233

Close the bar

(Dublin , 2017-08-01)

#235

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)

#236

I do not agree with politicians drinking when making decisions on my behalf

(Tralee, 2017-08-01)

#237

No tab in my pub. No bar at my job. Bills should be paid by customer and not by taxpayer.

(Newbridge, 2017-08-01)

#240

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)

#243

Because no other workplaces has Bars.

(cork, 2017-08-01)

#244

this is a ******* joke

(Dublin, 2017-08-01)

#245

There is no need for drink in the pace of work

(cloughjordan, 2017-08-01)

#246

the government should be working all year round and not wasting our money on getting drinks we need new water pipes, more homes

(dublin, 2017-08-01)

#249

Why should they have a bar there. It their workplace. And I'm also sick of paying for them and their greed

(Dublin, 2017-08-01)

#250

These guys are passing laws that affect the lives of millions and they think it's OK to do this while under the influence?

(Galway, 2017-08-01)

#251

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

There is no logical reason to have a bar in a place of work especially where such important decisions will be made regarding our country. Bloody shameful

(Galway, 2017-08-01)

#255

The Dail is a place of work and shouldn't have a bar..

No tax payer in the country is allowed to drink at work ..the same should apply to the government that we employ..!!

(Limerick, 2017-08-01)

#259

There should be no bar at the work place ever more importantly at government

(Kilkenny, 2017-08-01)

#260

This money could be put to brilliant use for much deserved charities.

(Dublin, 2017-08-01)

#261

They have enough money, go spend it in local businesses and support working people of Ireland!!

(Dublin, 2017-08-01)

#262

It's a waste of peoples money

(Dublin , 2017-08-01)

#267

I believe there should be no bar in the Dail.

(Ennis, 2017-08-01)

#268

Enough is enough start acting like a government .

(everywhere , 2017-08-01)

#269

There is no place in a modern society for boozed up public representatives. Our elected public representatives need to get serious about the problems facing the citizens of our country.

(Dublin , 2017-08-01)

#277

A bar should not be in a place of work.

(Dublin, 2017-08-01)

#280

Threy are a gang off scroungers.

(Dublin, 2017-08-01)

#281

I dont see any other profession, that has a bar ! You dont drink and drive , so dont make serious decisions on our behalf , intoxicated !

(Mountcharles , 2017-08-01)

#297

It's a discrace that a member of government can drink while being paid ridiculous money in wages an expenses during working and then driving a car

(Dublin , 2017-08-01)

#301

How can you do job and drink alcohol at the same time ,it impairs your judgement.

(Dublin, 2017-08-01)

#304

The bastards are constantly drunk

(Cork, 2017-08-01)

#306

Just had enough with the amount of money being wasted, could have been put to proper use. If they were running a company it would be closed long ago.

(Galway, 2017-08-01)

#308

Because its a disgrace that the government have a bar in the first place .and second they don't pay their bills ,you are corrupted and a disgrace to our nation

(Dublin, 2017-08-01)

#309

The Dail is a place where our elected representatives are supposed to be working on our behalf. If they want a drink they can go to their local pub on a Friday or Saturday night.

(Dublin, 2017-08-01)

#314

No one is allowed to consume drugs at work.

(Wexford , 2017-08-01)

#315

I'm signing because I agree that there is no need for alcohol to be sold in the Daily.

(Dublin, 2017-08-01)

#316

Politicians drinking while making decisions that effect millions of people..?,, It's just not on.

(Roscommon, 2017-08-01)

#317

In a country where drink is a major problem TD"s should lead by example no bar at work.

(Dublin, 2017-08-01)

#319

The day of having a quick pint or 2 a lunchtime is gone. Our elected representatives shouldn't be able to have a pint and then return to work to make decisions that affect the rest of us, it's irresponsible.

(Wexford, 2017-08-01)

#320

Should not be a bar in the workplace.

(Wicklow, 2017-08-01)

#322

Its a complete shambles and a Slur on the Irish taxpayers. These politicians are privileged enough in every possible way already with their enormous salaries and outlandish expenses. Close this Dail Bar down Now.

There should not be a bar in the workplace

(New ross, 2017-08-01)

#325

I think its right

(Dublin, 2017-08-01)

#326

The money spent on alcohol can go to better use and it's not necessary to have a bar in the Dail anyway

(Dublin , 2017-08-01)

#328

I'm signing because , well paid politicians should (a) be focussing on the important stuff instead of the black stuff !...(b) because Its a terrible example to the whole country that a bill is ran up and not paid .....maybe I should do the same with my taxes !!!...and (c) the people who left these unpaid bills should now be named and shamed to their colleagues and Parties and Voters alike...we should know who the peooke are who do not fulfill their obligations !!

(Dublin, 2017-08-01)

#330

It's a joke can they not face the people in pubs

(Dublin 4, 2017-08-01)

#335

Enough is enough I'm not paying my taxes for bar tabs Fed up with the greed!

(DUBLIN, 2017-08-01)

#339

They keep saying how hard they work and the long hours they do. Now I understand what they mean. Bar work is long hours OK.

(Waterford , 2017-08-01)

#342

I hate these corrupt politicians,

(Dublin, 2017-08-01)

#344

Drinking while at work should be illegal. Hw can an alcohol infused brain be relied on to make important decisions which will affects peoples lives.

(Gorey , 2017-08-01)

#347

It's totally abused and there's no real way of making sure it isn't!

(Skerries , 2017-08-01)

#348

Disgraceful that a bar is in a place of work, shut it now!

(Co Donegal, 2017-08-01)

Dail Bar Cheats - Cheat all Honest Tax Payers

(London, 2017-08-01)

#356

How can they run the country under the influence of alcohol that we pay for. Im o the dole cant afford to drink only barely living on what I get.

(Dublin, 2017-08-01)

#358

Any other job you'd be fired for drinking on... why should this be any different!! If TD's want to drink let them do it like the rest of the nation, after a days work, and out of their own pocket!

(Dublin, 2017-08-01)

#361

No other work place has a bar so why should the government have one.

(Cork, 2017-08-01)

#362

They are disgusting and should not drink at work

(Tipperary, 2017-08-01)

#365

There is no need for a bar in the dail, and maybe having the bar closed will result in better decision making in the dail chamber. It will also save the taxpayers a lot of money.

(Dublin , 2017-08-01)

#366

Totally not needed. Get rid of it, and before doing so make sure to recoup all monies owed by past and present staff With Interest

(Navan, 2017-08-01)

#367

I'm signing because the idea of a bar in the work place is redicilous and would not be tolerated in any other job ,these people are making life changing decisions about our country and us therefore they should do it in their right state of mind no question

(Greystones , 2017-08-01)

#372

Why does this even exist? Drinking while making important decisions about the country is not a good idea.

(Carlow, 2017-08-01)

#373

I'm fed up with the "I'm a member of government and can do what I like and up yours to the general public". One rule for all places of employment.

(Dublin, 2017-08-01)

#375

I'm sick to death of these parasitic people bleeding people dry, while they do***** all to help people in need who elected these useless cunts. Nose in the troughs pigs, filling their pockets at Irish peoples expense

(dundalk, 2017-08-01)

(Galway , 2017-08-01)

The Same Rules Don't Apply To Ordinary Citizens.

(Dublin , 2017-08-02)

Shame in the government

(Galway, 2017-08-02)

Our politicians do not need a bar while making life changing important decisions on the future of Ireland and it's people. They have destroyed lives and all they do it take off us. Enough is enough.

(Cork, 2017-08-02)
