The Dail is a cold house for politicians this week despite all the hot air around the Budget as the Oireachtas authorities are refusing to put on the heat.
The energy crisis is hitting very close to home for politicians because the management in Leinster House say the heating will not be switched on yet, despite complaints that the 275-year-old house is cold this week.
Management say they are “showing leadership” in the parliament buildings as part of “the national effort to reduce consumption.”
