Sir, - I was astounded this week to hear Mr Ruairi Quinn applauding the allegedly dictatorial and autocratic management style of the Labour Party's presidential candidate. If a businessman or industrialist behaved in such a way towards trade-union employees, the Labour Party would be to the forefront in condemning it. Perhaps Mr Quinn's hypothesis that women candidates are judged differently to men is proven. - Yours, etc.,
Dundrum Road, Dublin 14.
