Sir, - Did the minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform leave the country during the "Blue 'Flu"? Did the minister for Health and Children leave the country during the nurses' strike? Did the Minister for Public Enterprise leave the country during the ILDA strike, the DART strike or the Aer Lingus strike? Why has the Minister for Education abandoned his post during the ASTI strike?
Perhaps Mr Woods will ask the Malaysian Minister for Education to return here to clean up the mess Dr Woods has left behind him. - Yours, etc.,
Tim Nelligan, (ASTI member), Rose Hill, Wicklow Town.
