Ireland v Yugoslavia

Sir, - How much longer will we have to listen to the blatant hypocrisy coming from the mouths of our politicians on the issue of neutrality? One day opposition TDs call for a referendum on PfP so that we may maintain our neutrality. The next day they put this very neutrality in question by insisting we should not play Yugoslavia in a soccer match. It is about time our elected representatives decided where they stand on the issue, and not simply conform to the popular view when they see fit. - Yours, etc., Ciaran Cronin,
