Madam, – I take exception to Alan Fairbrother’s comment regarding cross-Border shoppers (November 3rd), implying that this crippled Government, propped up by the Green party crutch, should cut income and supplements to each household in order to stem this flow of shoppers. Most of these people shop in the North in order to get value for their money, and survive these hard times, incurred through no fault of their own.
Perhaps if this Government led by example and cut their own salaries, fat bonus and expenses packets, then people might have incentive to aim for a greater goal and get this country back on its feet. – Yours, etc,
