Madam, - It is good to see the old self-congratulatory grin back on Bertie's face (front page, July 30th), after Sum Leader carried the day at the Galway Races. The man has had a hard time of it lately. However, the race course glow is a transitory one, and as the nation's woes continue to assert themselves, our Taoiseach would do well to reflect that the phrase "Some leader" can be uttered in more than one tone of voice. I don't think the admiring one is in the majority at the moment. - Yours etc.,
TONY MULQUEEN, Aughrim, Co Wicklow.
