Apologies and political life

Sir, – Oliver Donohue (Letters, February 21st) notes that hardly a day goes by without another newly elected Sinn Féin TD apologising for their behaviour or opinions.

The real tragedy is that Fine Gael and Fianna Fail have been getting away with doing the exact opposite for as long as I can remember! – Yours, etc,

ULTAN Ó BROIN,

Florence.
