Letters to the Editor: English did resign but has not paid the ‘ultimate price’

Damien English has resigned as a junior minister after a journalist highlighted the fact that Mr English provided incorrect information when submitting a planning application to Meath County Council 14 years ago.

The Taoiseach stated Damien “paid the ultimate price”. I do not agree. The “ultimate price” in my opinion would be his resignation as a TD, expulsion from the Fine Gael Party, and a court order directing him to demolish the house.
