Sir, - As a left-wing pinko of many years' standing, I want to say how grateful I am to Fianna Fail for setting up the tribunals. You won't hear the likes of me complaining about how much they cost or how long they take.
When the next election is called, it will be obvious that the tribunals of inquiry are one of the outstanding achievements of this Government.
In Drumcondra, where I live, we regularly raise our glasses to toast the work of the tribunals. Confession is good for the soul, though it may not be good for the pocket. - Yours, etc.,
Kathryn Mulready, Calderwood Road, Drumcondra, Dublin 9.
