Madam, – With regard to David McWilliams’s comments about Minister for Finance Brian Lenihan, I for one am glad that the Minister is working late into the night and that he is eating garlic to ensure he stays well enough to face the momentous task ahead of him. As for his crumpled suits, I find them quite endearing – and far preferable to the Charvet shirts favoured by politicians in the past.
Mr Lenihan has shown himself to be a man of substance over these past months. Could the same be said of Mr McWilliams? – Yours, etc,
