Dear Mr. Gilmore,
Inappropriate and disgraceful comments made live on television by Joan
Burton in the Dail on Thursday, 9th Feb. have just been brought to my
attention.
Ms. Burton was responding to a question by Deputy Shane Ross. In her
response to Mr. Ross, she made snide remarks about the fact that he had
supported people such as Sean Quinn in the past and inferred that he,(Mr
Quinn) was a loser. To hear a comment such as this made by the deputy
leader of the Labour party about the biggest job creator this country has
ever produced, was as astonishing as it was inappropriate. I thought the
Labour party was supportive of those who created jobs and their employees,
but clearly I was mistaken.
In a further insult to the Quinn family, the Quinn employees and the tens
of thousands of people whose jobs are dependent on the Quinn Group, not to
mention the embarrassment caused to the citizens of Ireland, whose
Government was a laughing stalk on National Television, this remark was
followed by joking and laughing more akin to disrespectful and ill-
mannered brats in primary school who knew no better. Do you consider this
to be acceptable behaviour by some of the world's highest paid politicians.
Let me assure you that the people of Ireland do not.
Perhaps, Ms Burton should watch a reputable production by George Lee's "The
Business" which aired last Monday night on RTE1 and was the beginning of
the end for the Anglo fat cats, and the stupid politicians who facilitated
their squandering of billions of euros of taxpayers money.
I now officially request that you investigate why a member of the Labour
party ridiculed and made a joke of the man who did what no Government has
ever done for the border counties-create 8000 jobs and tens of thousands
indirectly.
I await your response by return.
Is Mise,
