Madam, - While I commend most of your Editorial on cystic fibrosis (January 16th) I have to object to your comments about "a backstairs political deal". I have always been open and accountable on my agreement with the Taoiseach. I have spoken many times since in the Dáil on the content which includes services for cystic fibrosis patients.
