Sir, – The reset of Anglo-Irish affairs is most welcome. Judging by your front-page photograph (Carl Court, July 18th) of the two premiers from the Chequers meeting, it seems to be on a good foundation. The fact that both leaders appear to be ciotógs together as they hold their pints augurs well. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – I thought we had moved on from using beer as a symbol of Irishness in international relations? Assuming this photo-op was a suggestion by the British hosts, the Irish side should have politely declined this outdated prop. – Yours, etc,
Ann Ingle: Deliberately going out of my way to move for no particular reason has never appealed to me
Gerry Thornley: How about an alternative look at Ireland’s Six Nations win over England?
Is Ireland anti-Semitic, an outlier of tolerance or in the middle ground?
How risky is it to buy a second-hand EV?

Sir, – I hope the Taoiseach told Keir Starmer that if he’s coming to the England game in September, he will have to get tickets for the Greece and Finland games as well. – Yours, etc,
