Madam, – The following pre-election dialogue which took place between a sitting TD and my late father, in the 1950s, has a certain relevance today.
TD: Do you think will I be re-elected, Tim? Tim Lennon: Of course you will. You’ll walk it. TD: Do you think so? TL: Of course. Didn’t you say that it was the poor that elected you the last time and isn’t there twice as many of us now? – Yours, etc,
