Madam, - In your edition of July 28th the Tánaiste is quoted as follows: "Questioned about Fianna Fáil's standing, Ms Harney said Mr Ahern has been 'an outstanding and successful leader for the party. He was the first Taoiseach in over 30 years to be re-elected.' "
It would seem Mary Harney is choosing to forget her part in Charlie Haughey's re-election as Taoiseach in 1989. The Fianna Fáil government may not have been returned to power but Charlie Haughey certainly was. Does this example of selective memory explain how our Government seems to have forgotten so much of what it committed itself to last year? - Yours etc.,
DANIEL K. SULLIVAN, (Fine Gael local area representative), Collinswood, Dublin 9.
