Madam, – The present Government has cut resources for health, education, home care for the elderly, the sick, etc – all arguably necessary in the present crisis.
It is now wasting Oireachtas time and money on a Green Party Bill (the Dog Breeding Establishments Bill) that will increase resources for the registration and inspection of dog kennels! The Great Dean Swift could not have written a more “Modest Proposal”.
This goes a long way to explaining growing contempt for politics and a certain 17 per cent in your recent Irish Times/Ipsos MRBI poll. – Yours, etc,
