The Irish Mail on Sunday

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.
