There has been a mixed reaction to TDs heading off on their six-week summer holiday.
The majority of TDs have reportedly voted to go off on their six-week long holiday as a matter of priority, thus avoiding having to attend a special sitting of the Dáil next week.
Sinn Fein had called for the Dáil to convene next week to discuss issues relating to the Pandemic Unemployment Payment.
The vast majority of TDs voted against this so they can embark on their holidays immediately.
The Dáil is now not due to reconvene until September 15.
