Labour has proud record of propriety

Maurice Fitzgerald’s letter about the Labour Party (Apr 18) is an outrageous falsehood.

Many parties in this country have disgraced themselves by supporting murder, taking bribes and exchanging destructive planning decisions for political support. Labour is not one of them.

The Mahon Tribunal may have found that one former Labour councillor took inappropriate payments, but what Mr Fitzgerald has conveniently forgotten is that the same councillor was drummed out of the party by his colleagues, as soon as any suspicions were raised over his behaviour.
