A chara, I would appreciate the right of reply to Tommy Broughan TD (October 22nd) when he suggests that there are communication problems in Fianna Fail. We live in a democracy. It is therefore only right that every deputy of Dail Eireann be given the chance to air his/her views, even if they differ from those held by their party leader.
greatly admire Bertie Ahern in allowing his own brother such freedom, as I ponder the so-called openness that now is apparently disallowed within the Lab our Party.
Sameness is boring, Deputy Broughan. Let's hope that when the electorate voice their opinions, their communication skills are up to standard. I, for one, am not in the least confused. Mise le meas,
