Madam, - It is totally unacceptable for Fianna Fáil to peddle the influencing power of the State in a sleazy attempt to raise funds ("New 'club' scheme to fundraise defended by FF", The Irish Times, March 30th).
While it is not surprising that a party of such "flawed pedigree" would attempt this sort of scam, it is depressing to witness the Progressive Democrats, once a party of principle, seeming to endorse the activity. - Yours, etc.,
ANTHONY SHERIDAN, Cobh, Co Cork.
