Sir, - In the light of the Sheedy affair, is it not now incumbent on Senator Fergal Quinn to resign his membership of Seanad Eireann on foot of his extraction of "hello money" from his grocery suppliers? This action - which he sought energetically to legitimise to Charlie Bird in a radio interview - plainly contravened the law enacted by the very legislature in which he currently holds his senatorial appointment.
Or is there now available a separate sauce for goose and gander? - Yours, etc.,
David Grant, Mount Pleasant, Waterford.
