THIS MORNING, IT was reported that Mayo TD Michelle Mulherin has called for a “Skype facility” to be installed in the Dáil to avoid expensive phone call controversies.
The Fine Gael TD has made the news this week after racking up a Dáil phone bill of over €2,000. Her solution is the installation of a “Skype facility” in Leinster House as well as an alarm bell to sound when phone calls get too expensive.
Naturally, this was met online with some derision:
They never needed a Skype facility in House of Cards
Talk quickly turned to how the Government would fund this major operation
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
And there was, of course, some outrage
She also called for an alarm bell to sound when a call was getting particularly expensive
