Madam, – I wonder does Garret FitzGerald’s characterisation of our government as “home devils and away angels” (Opinon, June 27th) also apply to a particularly interesting display of Irish foreign policy last week?
Minister of State Peter Power stood in the UN General Assembly and called for “more resources” for the UN’s work to fight the food global crisis – just weeks after the government cut our contribution to the UN agencies by some 50 per cent.
Maybe Mr FitzGerald can ask UN chief Ban Ki Moon to comment next week?
It just so happens the UN chief will be in town. – Yours etc.
