Taoiseach, now is the time to help victims of barbaric surgical procedure

DEAR Taoiseach,

After a week in which history was genuinely made, as a direct result of the authority and steady leadership shown by you and the Tánaiste, you’re criticised for being a bully. Many of the same commentators who felt in the past that you should be replaced as leader of your party because you were weak and indecisive are now writing that you won’t tolerate dissent and that you’re prepared to go to any lengths to get your own way.

It’s mystifying, isn’t it?
