‘No realistic prospect’ Irish politicians will pay parliament bar tab

‘Irish taxpayers are up in arms over government plans to write off unpaid bar bills in the country’s parliament.
The move comes after a report by the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission, the body which oversees the delivery of services to the Irish houses of parliament, said that there is “no realistic prospect” of the bills being paid off.
Now, angry Irish Twitter users are making their feelings known, with some pointing the finger of blame at Fianna Fáil and Fianna Gael, the two largest parties in the Dáil, Ireland’s lower house.
There are two bars and two restaurants in the Houses of the Oireachtas, with one bar and restaurant reserved for members of parliament, known as TDs, and members of the senate.
