Due credit to Fianna Fáil

Sir, – Few will argue with John Kennedy’s nailing of the Fianna Fáilers’ “calculated spin” at their ardfheis blathering (April 30th). That, after all, is the purpose of these partisan preening sessions the globalised world over.

But when he extrapolates to laud our current crop of incumbent musical chairmen, by seeking that credit “. . . should be given where credit is due”, some might be forgiven for thinking it’s a pity debit was not given where debit was due, instead of being dumped on those least responsible for the speculative squanderlust. – Yours, etc,
