Sir, – Is it not ironic that people like Hugh Treacy (October 25th), who supported and canvassed for the retention of the Seanad, should now have to write to the papers castigating one of the leaders of the campaign for reneging on the reforms promised?
I thought myself that the retention of the expensive and privileged elite in the Seanad was indefensible given that the country is bankrupt and that we have more public representatives relative to population than comparable countries.
How could we have been so gullible to have fallen for such a dishonest campaign? – Yours, etc,
