A chara, - The former Health Minister, Michael Noonan TD, appears to be having great difficulty coping with the political charges currently being levelled against him following the recent publication of official documents which, incidentally, he told us could not be published.
Perhaps he might seek some advice on stress management from the Minister for Tourism, Dr James McDaid, who managed to maintain a far more dignified composure following what really was a most violent "political assassination" a few years ago - at the hands of the same Michael Noonan.
I await with great interest Mr Noonan's response (if any) to the damning indictment of both himself and his government by Ms Jane O'Brien, Chairwoman of Positive Action, in The Irish Times, (August 7th). - Is mise,
