Sir, Vincent Kenny, chairman of Knocklyon Post Primary Committee (June 18th) attributes Eithne FitzGerald's defeat in the recent election to her failure to support the building of a post primary school in Knocklyon.
He goes on to tell us that Seamus Brennan, while Minister for Education, "sanctioned" the building of the school. He doesn't tell us why he didn't have it built. Seamus Brennan has represented the Knocklyon area as TD since 1981 and was Minister For Education during that period. On many, many occasions he has promised us a school. He may have promised" and "sanctioned", but he never "delivered".
Yet, strangely, Knocklyon Community Council has never mounted a vitriolic political campaign against Fianna Fail led governments like they did, on this occasion, against the Rainbow Coalition. I wonder why? Could it be that, unlike their political masters, they decided to put politics before people? - Yours, etc.,
Knocklyon,
Dublin 16.
