Sir, – I read with interest and a growing sense of foreboding (Home News, March 7th) that our eminent politicians are rewarding themselves with trips far and wide this coming St Patrick’s Day.
Not too long ago these same parties were questioning the value of these trips, but now our Taoiseach has no difficulty in justifying them! Do we have embassies in any of these countries? If we do, what are the staff and ambassadors based in those countries being paid to do? Muintir na hÉireann, we are being taken for fools again.
At the last election we vowed never to let it happen again. Where has the will for change in Irish life gone? – Yours, etc,
