Ten TDs speak less than four times in the Daíl

Ten TDs have spoken less than four times each in the Dáil chamber in 2010.

The tight-lipped ten, published by the Irish Daily Mail, shows former Taioseach Bertie Ahern didn’t utter a single word.

Kerry TD Jackie Healy-Rae cost the Irish people €14,142 for every word he spoke in the Dáil this year. Now there’s some food for thought when you’re heading to the polling station early next year.

The tight-lipped ten include:

1. Bertie Ahern (0)
2. Jackie Healy-Rae (1)
3. Michael Woods (1)
4. Christy O’Sullivan (2)
5. Eamon Scanlon (3)
6. Dr Rory O’Hanlon (3)
7. Tom Kitt (3)
8. Noel Grealish (3)
9. Michael Fitzpatrick (3)
10. Michael Lowry (3)
