Madam, - Alan Dukes certainly deserves credit for his Tallaght strategy of 1987 (Hugo Brady Brown, July 16th) but Fine Gael cannot be given any kudos for this as the party's response to his principled opposition was to dump him as leader. Opposition for opposition's sake is alive and kicking in more parties than one. - Yours, etc,
JOHN ARRIGAN, Maryland, Newpark, Portlaoise.
