Prayers, praise, and political advice were sent the Taoiseach's way by the public in three dozen emails and letters in the days after he returned to the top job in Government last December
Three dozen emails and letters were penned by members of the public to the new Taoiseach, according to documents released following a Freedom of Information request.
However, others emphasised the importance of maintaining a close working relationship with the two other parties in Government. There was praise too for the smooth change-over within the Office of Taoiseach on 17 December, with one email from that day stating:"No problem at all with Micheál Martin, but it's good to see Ireland's democratic process working exactly as it should."
Others praised the Taoiseach's"fresh and proactive approach to policy," but one writer lamented the lack of"creative purpose" at leadership level in the country. They wrote about the need for"massive infrastructure, new bridges, schools, buses, more doctors," before adding that"we have prefab schools, too much talk, too many reports, little or no real action".
