I REFER to Louise Patricia Sheridan’s letter (November 4) in which she implies that the proposed gender legislation would mean that women are no longer elected on a “level playing field to everyone else”.

Organisers say more than 5,000 frontline public sector workers took part in this afternoon's protest through Dublin city centre against proposed pay cuts.

DIVIDING public and private sector workers is merely a Government-inspired attempt to weaken the labour movement, was the key message from trade union leaders to tens of thousands partaking in ICTU’s National Day of Protest yesterday.
