Beware of political spindoctors for hire

FERGUS FINLAY states (Irish Examiner, Nov 4) that “the SDLP’s secret weapon is the ability to attract transfer votes”.

However, recent events indicate that the SDLP believe their secret weapon to be spindoctors from FF, the PDs and the British Labour Party.

Many of those enlisted from FF and the PDs were responsible for securing the re-election of the current coalition, a campaign in which the Irish people were duped with promises that there would be no cuts, that the crisis in the health and education services would be ended, schools would be refurbished and waiting lists would be a thing of the past.
