Ryanair chief executive says there aren’t enough TDs from private sector
has doubled down on controversial comments he made about teachers serving as TDs and repeated his claim that there are “too many” of them in theAt the launch, he said that “in Peter we have a candidate who comes from the private sector which is absolutely vital. The Dáil is full of teachers. There is nothing wrong with teachers. I love teachers – I have four children – but I wouldn’t generally employ a lot of teachers to go out and get things done.
Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald said the comments were “completely inappropriate” and added that for teachers to be “jeered and demeaned” in the way they were was “unacceptable”. “This country is facing enormous challenges over the next decade, where the population is going to rise from five to six million people,” he said.
“I think teachers do a great job in the classroom, but I’m not sure that teachers in the Dáil are necessarily the best people to deliver the kind of change and enterprise we need.”
