Sir, - On October 10th (letters page) Noel Ahern passionately defended Fianna Fail's approach to the semi state sector in response to an article by my party colleague, Joan Burton, TD. That same evening his brother, the party Leader, declared that he wants to sell off the same semi state companies.
It is clear that reports of communications difficulties within Fianna Fail have not been exaggerated. Things must be bad if even the two brothers are unable to sing from the one hymn sheet! - Yours, etc.,
Dail Eireann,
Baile Atha Cliath 2.
