Madam, - In your Business This Week section of March 5th, the whole of page 3 is devoted to the flotation of Eircom, and the bottom of the page has photographs of the four Eircom executive directors all smiling broadly. And why shouldn't they? Those fine gents are to receive packages worth €29 million when Eircom floats.
In contrast, on page 8 of the same supplement, Dominic Coyle tells us that the Eircom free telephone rental allowance is being withdrawn from all pensioners with immediate effect.
So, while Eircom floats, pensioners sink. 'Tis a great little country! - Yours, etc.,
D.J. O'GORMAN, PC, Oola, Co Limerick.
