Poll: Do you care if politicians fly business class?

Politicians can come under heat for flying business class but do you care?

MARY LOU MCDONALD was criticised after flying business class to Australia at a cost of €4,000.

However, the Sinn Féin TD defended the cost saying, “It was extremely helpful just given the scale of the tour itself to have that level of comfort coming and going.”

Gerry Adams is flying stateside to see the Clintons today – but he’ll be going economy class.

So today we’re asking, Do you care if politicians fly business class?

Poll Results:

Yes, it's too extravagant (3475)

I think it's fair if it's a long flight and they need to be fresh for work (3340)

Fine but I'm jealous (601)

No work away - fly like a bird (381)
