Sir, - In his recent biography of Sean Lemass, John Horgan records how Charles Haughey was involved in an intensive drive in 1954 to reorganise the Fianna Fail party. He describes how Haughey told Lemass in an "ebullient report," as secretary of the Dublin North-East Dailcheantar, that "the self-seeker will soon see that Fianna Fail is an organisation of service and not a ladder for his ambition and he will soon steal away". - Yours, etc., P.
