Maybe he was just resting his eyes…

Have you ever been in a situation where you need to be awake, but you are jaded tired and you nod off to sleep anyway? Of course you have, it happens to everyone.

A serious bout of tiredness hit Independent TD Danny Healy-Rae in the Dáil yesterday and, no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn’t fight it.

It happened during TD Mattie McGrath’s comments about the HSE where you can see Healy-Rae doing his damndest to keep his eyes open, but no luck.
