Decentralisation is a political football

WITH regard to your most unfair editorial on Enda Kenny (Irish Examiner, January 23) I wish to ask what was so wrong with his desire to carry out an audit on decentralisation?

At the moment, decentralisation is a joke a political football with civil servants caught in the middle.

Surely the blame rests with the Government for failing properly to assess and plan for decentralisation prior to McCreevy and Parlon going on a political solo-run and salivating at the thought of voters in many towns being swayed by this ill-considered election gimmick.
