Hypocrisy takes wing

RAY CORCORAN (Letters, August 14) is right when he says it is the height of hypocrisy for Fine Gael, the employers and others to bemoan Aer Lingus’s decision to end its Shannon-Heathrow link. But it is even more hypocritical of ministers like Willie O’Dea to complain about the consequences of their own policies. At least Transport Minister Noel Dempsey has the courage to defend his Government’s policies when the heat is on.
