Sir, – Should the report on the National End of Life survey findings, headed “More than one in ten who lost loved ones say their end-of-life care was fair to poor” (News, April 11th), not in fact be headed “Almost nine in ten who lost loved ones say their end-of-life care was good or very good”? There continue to be shortcomings and areas where palliative and end-of-life care must improve, but the quality of care has improved very significantly in recent years, a point reflected in the survey’s findings. The survey was conducted by the National Care Experience Programme, a joint initiative of the Health Information and Quality Authority, the HSE and the Department of Health. – Yours, etc,

Is Ireland anti-Semitic, an outlier of tolerance or in the middle ground?
How risky is it to buy a second-hand EV?
