Madam, - Eamon de Valera (March 6th) makes at least one revealing point in his defence of the structural adjustment of the Freedom of Information Act to maintain the "internal accountability" of "public bodies". He argues for the "freedom of ministers and civil servants to go about their business. . .without fear of premature disclosure".
And the naïve taxpayers, thinking it might be our business we are paying them so handsomely to go about! - Yours, etc.,
DAMIEN FLINTER, Tullyvoheen, Clifden, Co Galway.
