Madam, – It is frankly sickening that the caretaker Taoiseach, a man who did not even offer himself to the electorate and is not now a member of the Oireachtas, should dare to appoint a failed Fianna Fáil election candidate to the Senate (“FF’s Darragh O’Brien appointed to Seanad”, Breaking News, March 3rd). To the bitter end and beyond, they have learned nothing at all. – Yours, etc,
