Madam, - May I comment on one aspect of the assertations of Cllr Declan Bree (The Irish Times, September 1st)?
Cllr Bree is correct that Labour has a consistent and honourable record on the issue of accommodation for traveller families. However, in Sligo Cllr Bree used his position as mayor to stop an accommodation site going into his own electoral ward and sought to put it into the ward of a colleague that already has three such sites.
Labour remains in favour of a fair and reasonable distribution of accommodation sites locally and nationally. - Yours, etc,
PAT RABBITTE TD,
