Jump To Comment: 1I didn't realise a TD was granted immunity from arrest,that is news to me.
I would like to see this abolished without a doubt.
This country has more inequalities than i previously thought.
But the problem is i don't see TD's passing laws to make it so.
Without some form of political will that comes from dail eireann itself,i don't see this being abolished.
