FINTAN Gibney's rebuke of Kevin Myers (Letters, November 13) is little more than the nostalgic fantasy of the student union agitator.

Attack on Kevin Myers is cheap

Tuesday November 17 2009

I read with disbelief the letter from Fintan Gibney, 'Mr Myers knows the left only too well' (Irish Independent, November 13), which appears to be nothing more than an attack on the personal integrity and character of Kevin Myers.

Turkey's left wing will taste best
