Government’s standing in the polls

Sir, – I have been amused by the suggestion that the Government parties’ drop in support in the polls was because the electorate is disappointed with the management of the Department of Justice. Could it be that the electorate is weary of this tedious drama? What was said and when it was said is petty in comparison to real world concerns and given the choice of listening to nothing or hearing more about the gardaí, I’d choose silence. Perhaps if the Government could steer the media to topics we wanted to hear about they would fare better.
