COMEDY IN IRELAND

Sir, £1.5 million paid for a family home in Shrewsbury Road

Sir, £1.5 million paid for a family home in Shrewsbury Road. The £9 million plus per annum yield from the property tax is reckoned as not being worth collecting.

No money is available for the setting up of drug rehabilitation centres.

No money available for the refurbishing/replacing of the dens of iniquity that pass for prisons.

Who says that comedy has died in Ireland? Yours, etc. Bohreen Hill, Enniscorthy, Co Wexford.
