Sir, – While acknowledging a passing acquaintance with Minister of State for Small Business John Perry, I must express my bemusement that he should be expected to resign his position because he finds his businesses in financial difficulty.
Personally speaking, were I involved in a small firm and needed someone to negotiate with the banks, I would prefer to have someone who was up to their oxters in debt than someone with their confirmation money in their arse pockets. – Yours, etc,
JOHN McDWYER,
Summerhill,
Carrick on Shannon,
Co Leitrim.
