The lack of attendance by TDs in the Dáil yesterday, to debate cuts to mental health services, seems to have really touched a nerve with the Irish public. 

With no government in place more than two months after the country went to the polls, it feels like this important debate being ignored was a step too far.

You can see the full Twitter reaction here with thousands of angry tweets – and we've selected some of the ones that resonated the most to give a sample of the public mood.
