Sir, - Regarding Drapier's decision to award the title of political journalist of the century to the much loved John Healy, I would have to concede that John Healy was certainly one of the outstanding political commentators of his day and of the century.
However, his continual and effusive adulation of Charles Haughey surely casts doubt on the incisiveness of his political judgement in the light of recent revelations.
I hope this letter will not affect Drapier's chances of receiving this accolade at the end of this century. - Yours, etc.,
Vincent McArdle, Cedarmount Road, Mount Merrion, Co Dublin.
