The Daily PollDID YOU ENJOY that extra hour in bed this morning? And do you dread that morning when the clocks spring forward and you lose an hour?
That’s the immediate impact of daylight savings time, but it has far reaching consequences that have been under scrutiny for years.
Those in favour say putting the clocks forward offers energy savings and can boost tourism during the summer months, but those against note that putting the clocks back results in darker evenings during the winter, making driving more dangerous.
The alternative could be to jump ahead to Central European Time permanently, as the Dáil has discussed previously.
We want to know what you think: Should we scrap daylight savings time?

Eh McGuinness can’t vote….
He knows he’s not going to win so why bother go down and vote. He is probably not planing another bank robbery with people he doesn’t know
He is giving the other 6 a head start out of the goodness of his heart. That’s why he is not voting.
I am so dissapointed that the standard of our presidential candidates is so low !!!!! is that what we have become ??? Where is the Statesman or woman in that lot !!!!! Martin McGuinness ???? HOW COULD THE COUNTRY EVEN CONSIDER HIM AS PRESIDENT. Sean Gallagher !!! please , who does he think he is ??? a half baked go between for shady people………. and the rest, well harmless and hopeless. Our country has lost its way for sure.
MMG is not voting because he doesn’t have a vote. Like many 10′s of thousands of Irish citizens who live in the 6 counties we don’t have a vote. Ironically we can stand though !
Hopefully the forthcoming constitutional convention will right this wrong.
Yes that true it is wrong that you can stand to be the Irish President if your from a DIFFERENT COUNTRY. Hopefully that will be sorted soon.
Thought there was a moretoreum till voting closes tonight
only applies to “mandate broadcasting”…..ie Special Mary talking about her integrity and all that shite!!!

Or not!
I reckon they’ll all be in the toilet.
have your say
