Mary Hanafin running for FF

Sir, – Most citizens of this country will be aware that the last government, of which Mary Hanafin was a member, failed in the task of running this country and led us off a financial cliff.

It now appears that Fianna Fáil cannot even run its own affairs in Blackrock, Co Dublin. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – As Minister for Education in Bertie Ahern’s cabinet, Mary Hanafin was most vociferous on the airwaves defending his “dig-outs”.

I hope the people of Blackrock let her know that we have said farewell to the politics that prevailed during her time in government. – Yours, etc,
