A chara, - I am prompted to write by Fintan O'Tooles's open letter to John Bruton (Opinion, June 13th). As each layer of scummy scandal precipitates and rests on our fatigued eyes, it can be difficult through the tribunalised media bloat of information to decipher what is really going on, and what has gone on in our State over the past 30 years. Every now and then a searching torch agitates the political bats in the belfry and suddenly everything makes more sense. Thank you, Fintan O'Tribunal. - Is mise,
Dr Joseph Gallagher, Moynalty, Kells, Co Meath.
