Sir, – Is it not time that the 30-year secrecy on cabinet papers is scrapped? We in Ireland are just about surviving. Politicians and bankers made a dog’s dinner of our economy and country in the past number of years. What’s done is done and we have to get on and live and pay for the mess they made of things.
Keeping cabinet papers locked away for 30 years is a recipe for continuing what happened in the past. We need to know what our Government does now. No more keeping things locked up and swept under the carpet. We have had enough of that since the foundation of the State and with the Catholic Church. Open up and face up to reality, honesty, and integrity. – Yours, etc,
