Madam, - I note from your Edition of January 23rd that former Fianna Fáil TD Beverly Flynn refuses to rule out the possibility of supporting Enda Kenny for Taoiseach after the next general election. She says she "will not be taken for granted by any party and that includes Fianna Fáil" in any future vote for a new Taoiseach. Surely this makes Ms Flynn guilty of taking the electorate of Mayo for granted.

Presumptuous arrogance of this magnitude is insulting to the electorate of Mayo, but par for the course for this particular dynasty. - Yours, etc,
