Madam, - Congratulations to Eoghan Harris on his appointment to the Seanad. No doubt his performance on the Late Late Showin the run-up to the general election had no influence on the Taoiseach's decision to appoint him and it was based purely on his outstandingly constructive contributions on every side of the political spectrum over the last 40 years. - Yours, etc,
DIARMAID MAC AONGHUSA, Shankill, Co Dublin.
