MEP fails to recognise political realities

I FOUND Kathy Sinnott’s letter (February 28) criticising Education Minister Batt O’Keeffe very perplexing.

She said the minister’s argument is “circular” because he is following his department’s policies. That is how government works. Departments have policies to achieve goals and meet budgets. These policies are what the Government was elected on.

Please do not insult the electorate. As an independent MEP with no experience in local or national politics, maybe the concept of policies eludes Ms Sinnott.
