Sir, – Every time I see the leader of a political party on television making some grave statement from the steps of Leinster House, I feel sorry for the party members who have been rounded up from the corridors just to stand there, like funeral pallbearers, in order to add gravitas to their leader’s pronouncements. If I were them I wouldn’t stand for it! – Yours, etc,
TONY CORCORAN,
Rathfarnham,
Dublin 14.
