Sir, - I think it unfair of Maire Geoghegan Quinn to blame the media for her resignation. Such an explanation is hardly in keeping with the tough and tenacious image which politicians across the spectrum have attributed to her.
It is all but an established fact that in seeking office over a number of elections it is essential, at the very least, to maintain if not increase one's voting capacity. The fact that Mrs Quinn got into office, last time out, on the tenth and final count speaks volumes. - Yours, etc.,
