Sir, - In relation to your newspaper's coverage of the nurses dispute, and your continual reference to the £80m offer, I would like to put the following on record.
I have attempted, through the Department of Health, Department of Finance and the Department of the Taoiseach, to obtain a breakdown of this £80m package, and to date have failed in all my attempts. I have also asked my union for a breakdown of the figure, and they have also failed to produce it. My own opinion is that the figure is being used to misrepresent our dispute, and as a stick with which to beat a caring profession. - Yours, etc.,
Collins Avenue,
Whitehall,
