Madam, - Patrick Breslin (June 27th) is quite wrong to deny Charles Haughey ever called Bertie Ahern the "most brilliant, the most cunning, the most devious of them all". Haughey made the comment at the time of his resignation with regard to his possible successor. Mr Breslin should acquaint himself with the wonders of "Googling", where he will find plenty of sources for the quote. - Yours, etc,
DESMOND FITZGERALD,

Madam, - Regarding the assertion that Charlie Haughey denied labelling Bertie Ahern "the most skilful, the most cunning" etc, Charlie denied a lot of things of far greater significance than this quip, that were subsequently found to be true. - Yours, etc,

Blessington.
