Madam, – It may be somewhat “reassuring” that Willie O’Dea and Trevor Sargent have taken responsibility for their actions and resigned from their respective ministerial positions. However, they have failed to resign as TDs! Does this mean it is acceptable for TDs to bad-mouth a rival, swear false affidavits and make representations to gardaí? Are TDs not subject to the same ethical standards as Ministers? – Yours, etc,
