'Cronyism at its finest' - Letters to Taoiseach show reaction to Zappone appointment

One letter said: “Dear Micheál, I am using my freedom of expression to tell you how angry I am about that ‘makey up job’ for that woman.” 

A Fianna Fáil supporter wrote to say that the Taoiseach Micheál Martin (pictured) had been badly undermined by Minister Simon Coveney and Tánaiste Leo Varadkar.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin was pilloried by members of the public over the controversial appointment of Katherine Zappone as a UN envoy.

Documents released by his department detail more than two dozen complaints received over the course of just three days after news leaked of the proposed job.
