Press conference questions
Senator Mullen presses a point about unanswered questions, while Senator Ahearn argues journalists and politicians often do get answers and that Mullen’s claim is disingenuous. The Chair intervenes several times to manage the exchange.
Anyone who has any understanding of press conferences knows that when a press conference is finished, journalists shout questions and it is pretty much 50:50 whether they are answered or not. They are not alone-----
Comment on this
They are not alone as journalists who do not get questions answered sometimes. To portray them as these individuals who are not being answered is totally untrue. Every week, politicians, Ministers and the Taoiseach answer questions - no matter how ridiculous some are - from the floor. It is very disingenuous.
