The Fianna Fáil leader wants the Dáil to go wild. Mr Martin told the Irish Examiner: “All across the country people are trying to do their bit to protect biodiversity and encourage pollinators. But some may be concerned the meadowland may provide a sanctuary for political rivals to lie waiting for them in the long-grass. Mr Ó Fearghal last night said he would discuss the matter with the OPW who are responsible for the grounds. The plan was welcomed by Green Party leader Eamon Ryan who went further by suggesting bird boxes be installed on the scaffolding currently encasing Leinster House.
