Sir, – With the benefit of hindsight and with 50/50 vision, it is time to let Bertie Ahern back into Fianna Fáil.
After all, people have stopped throwing white elephants and red herrings around. There’s no more smoke and daggers. The kebabs that used to plot against him are gone. It is time to stop living in the past and to start living in the future. Maybe, just maybe, he can help make things more boomer again. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – I presume that part of the processing of Bertie Ahen’s readmission to the Fianna Fáil party will involve a fresh look up every tree in north Co Dublin? – Yours, etc,
