Politicians must be accountable to law

THE latest attempt by the leader of the Labour Party to re-run the failed referendum on giving more powers to the houses of parliament of the 26 Counties is yet another attempt to subvert the democratic will of the people.

The two ruling parties in Leinster House must accept the result of the vote. The people exercised their franchise under secret ballot and the proposal was defeated.

The fact is the Irish people are aghast at any proposal to give more power to those in Leinster House.
