Sir, - Since the Government is determined to fly in the face of public opinion by persisting with Mr O'Flaherty's nomination, perhaps it should be bypassed by letting the EIB know directly that the majority of people in Ireland are opposed to the nomination.
The EIB has its own website: www.eib.org, with an e-mail address for comments, info@eib.org, and an individual with responsibility for Ireland: a.mcdonaugh@eib.ie. - Yours, etc.,
Richard D. Nolan, Brickhill West, Cratloe, Co Clare.
