Sir, - Dr Rory O'Hanlon reminds us (May 8th) that "at the Fianna Fail Ard Fheis prior to the last general election, the Taoiseach said that `participation' in the democratic life of this country is about public service, not self-service or the sustaining of a certain lifestyle'."
Perhaps Charles II (MyGravy, as one of our local elders has him dubbed) might be reminded also, before he runs his next budget past the winning post.
Oh, and was that the Ard Fheis where Bertie promised us a referendum before we joined FfP? - Yours, etc.,
