Madam, - Once again we are confronted by a crisis in the seemingly unending fiasco of inquiries.
Am I alone in wondering at the system employed by our nearest neighbours? The Hutton Enquiry would appear to have managed to take evidence from everybody in a short period of time. From the prime minister to people on the very margins of the inquiry, the evidence would appear to have been given willingly, with no reliance on the legal people who seem to dominate and thwart every similar situation in this State.
Surely there is a lesson to be learnt here. I am totally fed up with this carry on. Would it be too much to expect our religious, political and business people to face up to their responsibilities and just tell the simple truth! - Yours etc.,
TOM MAHER,
Grange Heights,
