Halt public funding for constituency offices

YOU highlighted the failure of political opponents to exploit Tony Killeen’s embarrassment that his constituency office made representations on two occasions on behalf of a convicted sex offender (Irish Examiner, January 17).

You surmised, correctly I’m sure, this was because many other TDs might well be similarly compromised.

Mr Killeen recently admitted he rarely saw or signed letters issued in his name and revealed his office has “issued in excess of 22,000 letters”.
