Madam, – With all the turbulence in our political system, it is right and fitting to remember Noël Browne who passed away this month 13 years ago (May 21st 1997).

I have heard it said he was not a great political strategist nor a great politician, but if such standards are set by the politicians we have today then I, for one, am glad to remember him in a different light. One who was honest, hard working, efficient and an effective politician.

Let us honour his memory by relighting his vision . . . any takers? – Yours, etc,
