Minister’s smear tactics designed to take spotlight off coalition’s failures

ARTS, Sport and Tourism Minister John O’Donoghue praises Fine Gael for their consistency (Irish Examiner letters, November 23).

He deserves similar praise, for even with age he has not lost his ability consistently to tell porkies about his opponents in order to defend his own Government’s tawdry record.

Laughably, he claims FG have proposed the legalisation of small brothels. The party has proposed no such thing.
