Madam, - I am indebted to the Carlow TD, Mr M.J. Nolan, (March 30th), for letting me in on how the Fianna Fáil party works.

According to Mr Nolan, there is no urgency to introduce legislation to provide equality to a large number of Irish citizens in respect of protection for same-sex relationships, because there are no individuals or organisations campaigning for such legislation. I would think that the Government is responsible for ensuring equality for all Irish citizens whether or not there is an active campaign. - Yours, etc.,
