Sir, - Listening to Mary Harney's apologia for the appointment of Mr O'Flaherty confirms for me that the PDs have turned from watchdog to lapdog in the present Government. Or to put it another way, from vanguard to mudguard.
The establishment in this country has once again looked after its own. The PD's didn't break the mould. They didn't even dent it. - Yours, etc.,
Ger Dorgan, Artane, Dublin 5.
