Sir, – Mary Lou McDonald's response (April 18th) to your editorial of April 16th, on the abuse of Dáil privilege, reminded me that Sinn Féin likes to dish it out but it cannot take it. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – I note from her letter that Mary Lou McDonald makes no mention of the temporal correlation between her big Dáil moment last December (her second big Dáil moment in as many months) and the Maíria Cahill controversy raging outside the walls of parliament at that time.
Clearly, Ms McDonald does not want to give that controversy the oxygen of publicity. – Yours, etc,
BRIAN AHERN,
