We need to know what politicians get up to

TOM CAREW (Letters, September 24) may well be right when he says the Taoiseach is “one decent, honourable, incredibly hard-working public servant”.

There are, however, thousands of others and nobody is writing to the newspapers about them. Anyway, that is what they are all paid to do.

But Mr Carew is wrong on both counts when he says the Taoiseach has “as little right to ask about or know such details of my life as I have to ask or know about his”.
