Madam, – I refer to the Fianna Fáil TD Ned O’Keeffe’s comment that Tesco should leave Ireland (Home News, May 14th). This is an outrageous comment and would only add to the difficulties facing this State.
If Tesco were to leave Ireland, thousands would lose their jobs, adding to the increasing dole queues, and reducing the tax revenue for the Government even further. Saying that a major company which makes €250 million profit in the Republic alone should leave country shows how Fianna Fáil cannot govern, and should step down in favour of a party which is capable of leading this country. – Yours, etc,
