Sir, - Surely the quote of the week week must be in the letter from Eugene O'Neill (February 1st) in defence of Mr Charles Haughey.
Quote: "C. J. Haughey brought in the hairshirt economy, the `seed' for the Celtic Tiger."
Unfortunately, the writer does not reveal the brand of hairshirt. - Yours, etc.,
Michael Kieran Power, Sandyford Road, Dublin 16.
