Madam, - I believe the Labour party's outdated policies would harm Fine Gael if, as suggested, they were to combine in a joint manifesto to fight the next general election.
Proposals such as bringing in a wealth tax and putting neutrality into the Constitution, as well as the party's frequent harsh and unfair criticism of the Catholic Church would alienate most people.
The only thing Enda Kenny and Pat Rabbitte have in common is they are both Mayo men. - Yours, etc.,
TOM JOYCE, Corbally, Saggart, Co Dublin.
