Sir, - Following a recent visit from the Minister for Finance, Mr Charlie McCreevy to my school, I would like to say that after the string of wrong-doings involving different business men, politicians and some of those in the higher end of society, Mr McCreevy has given me and others renewed faith in hardworking honest politicians. We cannot tar everyone with the one brush, which is what is happening now.
Mr McCreevy sounded like a decent, down-to-earth man who is trying to do his best for everyone. Instead of always looking at the menaces in pin-stripe suits, we should be praising the few who stayed on the playing field without injury - Yours, etc.,
