Tragi-comedy over organ issue

Your editorial (Aug 21) parsing the “pantomime” performance of the Seanad’s summer sitting, strikes a resolutely resonant ‘cluster-chord’ for the total overhaul of legislative process and statutory governance.

Whether Wolfgang Amadeus would be comfortable with his operas being touted as comparisons to this fiasco is hard to confirm — “The Seanad was a bit like one of Mozart’s great operas yesterday, one where pantomime is used to shield us from the darkest inevitabilities facing humanity”.

Perhaps “Wriggle-outo” or “Cosy-fan-tut-tut” might fit the bill. (With apology to Guiseppe and Wolfgang.)
