Letters to the editor

The outcome of the European and local elections suggests the next government will again be anchored in a Fine Gael/Fianna Fáil construct.

However, there is a very real danger that this time it could be reliant on other component(s) farther to the right. Such a combination would threaten the progress that has been made towards a more socially (though unfortunately not economically) fair and equal society.
