Political sparring on strike dispute

Summary

Devine and the Leader traded accusations over whether the teachers’ deal had been read and whether Fine Gael supported public investment. The Leader insisted the issue was resolving a dispute affecting people’s lives, and the chair repeatedly urged him to avoid politics.

The Senator has not even read it so he does not know what he is commenting on.
