Sir, – I am not sure which of the recent opinion pieces, one by Bertie Ahern on Wednesday (“Incumbent governments sometimes forget that elections are about the future”), the other by Gerry Adams on Thursday (“Sinn Féin’s appeal to the electorate is rooted in our republicanism. We have a clear plan to bring about Irish unity”), was the most delusional
What I am sure of is that prolonged membership of both Sinn Féin and Fianna Fáil is likely to cause, in even the most pragmatic and accomplished of politicians, astonishing levels of myopia. – Yours, etc,
LORCAN ROCHE,
Dartry,
