Madam, – At a time when the Irish people are clearly discommoded by the state of our fragile economy, it astonishes me how our elected representatives have the time and energy for the self-indulgent political games we see of late.
I fear that any shuffle of the current cards available to Brian Cowen (Front page, February 25th), will provide a very poor hand indeed. – Yours, etc,
Madam, – In your Editorial (February 22nd), you advocated a Cabinet reshuffle to provide a fresh political start. Is there any hope Brian Cowen might be genuinely innovative and use the Seanad seat vacated by Déirdre de Búrca to place a well-respected and public-spirited entrepreneur at the Cabinet table to provide some business expertise? – Yours, etc,
