Unfair comment
I am more left than right politically and no supporter of Fine Gael, but I thought Catherine Flynn’s comments about Simon Coveney (MoS letters, May 28) were disgraceful.
Coveney, like everybody else, did not choose his background and has been democratically elected several times over the last two decades. That he was first elected at an early age was due to the death of ‘his merchant prince father’ in a tragic accident – a fact that Catherine Flynn conveniently omits to mention.
Losing a parent at a very young age is a horrible experience for ANY type of person. Judy Peddle, by email.
