ELLEN PURCELL (Irish Examiner letters, June 4) asked if family issues had a bearing on the outcome of the general election.

In the run-up to the election, the Mothers At Home (MAH) organisation was contacted by many people seeking direction on how best to use their vote to ensure family values would be represented in the next government.
