High price of political ‘favours’

THE controversy over Deputy Kathleen Lynch’s representation on behalf of a convicted paedophile rapist again raises the issue of the value of political representations.

There are some constituents who harass their politicians to get things they are entitled to, but are too lazy to do it themselves.

Or they are ignorant and think they need a representation to get something they have a right to anyway. Or they are chancing their arm hoping that a representation might get them what they have no right to.
