His revelation and it was a revelation that judges are political appointees is matched by the quaint practice of giving plum Senate jobs to failed Dail deputies.

Or golden handshakes to the company directors of under-performing semi-state bodies.

Richard Dowling,

Coote Street,

Mountrath,

Co Laois.
