Sir, – Taoiseach Leo Varadkar is on his holidays, as is most of the Dáil. He became Taoiseach on June 14th, a little over two months ago.
Nevertheless, Emer O'Kelly chooses to attack him for not taking a certain stand on the Eighth Amendment, which is a controversial topic, to put it mildly ("Varadkar happy to take stand when it suits him", Opinion & Analysis, August 16th).

PATRICK O’BYRNE,
