I can't see that running to the price of first class plane ticket. Marie, if they didn’t bring their wives we might be simply talking about a few movies on the hotel bill.

Thus causing a bye-election which Frances Fitzgerald would be well placed to win. It's a longish shot but not so long as to not be worth throwing a few 'resign, resign' calls at. I do have to wonder at these top executives who are such babes in the woods that they need their wives with them to fend off bears or extortionate taxi drivers when overseas.

That way, they trip is extended to take account of quarantine rules. €5k for a flight to Florida?? What were they providing on that plane? You are right that this is not about haircuts because if she were to resign on this matter, where what that leave the seriousness of all of the cancer scares, autism funding, Lea's cross etc etc. Next time I get to go on a trip abroad for work, I’m insisting that my labrador come with me.
