Letters to the Editor: Bacik vote shines light on Labour’s priorities

I write to take issue with Fergus Finlay’s recent column on Ivana Bacik’s success in the Dublin Bay South by-election — ‘Labour must give Bacik a platform to lead for real change to happen’ (Irish Examiner, July 13).

I was glad to see her rewarded for her hard work over the years, but her election only confirmed what has been happening to Labour’s vote for the past 30 years.
