Sir, - Someone made representation to Bertie, Bertie told Mary but didn't tell the Dail, John, Ruairi and Proinsias are mad and threaten to bring down the Government. Well, HELLO! WAKE UP!
The average punter in the street doesn't give a rat's ass. We want to see Bertie, Mary, Ruairi, John, etc. going head to head in the Dail over the dole queues, the cost of housing, thousands of heroin addicts, massive crime, Dickensian prison systems, hospital waiting lists.
Most of our rivers are polluted, the ozone layer is depleted and weather records are broken every week. We are a respected neutral country capable of standing up and making a difference in the Kosovo situation, but where is our political leadership?
The TDs obviously have a different Thesaurus to mine, because in mine the word "voter" is not synonymous with "imbecile". - Yours, etc., Marian Gunning,
Cahermoneen, Tralee, Co Kerry.
