Michael D’s reversal

IT IS wrong that the headlines throughout the Irish media said President Higgins would be seeking a second term as president. The story should have been that Higgins misled the Irish public when he said during the 2011 presidential election that he would only seek the office once.

Is it any wonder that politicians across this land are held in such low esteem? A politician’s word should be his or her bond. Vincent J Lavery, Dalkey, Co. Dublin.
