Madam, - So the Irish electorate would have our already underfunded and overstretched public services cut still further rather than either borrow more or raise taxes, according to the latest Irish Times/TNS mrbi opinion poll.
It seems we would prefer to have people suffering on hospital trolleys, homeless people sleeping rough on the streets, young people on lower incomes unable to afford a house, and commuters stuck in air-polluted, gridlocked city streets than to have an increase in taxes and/or borrowing.Well, this truly proves that we do get the politicians we deserve! - Is mise,
PAUL KINSELLA, Lorcan Grove, Santry, Dublin 9.
