Fintan O’Toole asks Brian Lenihan the most vital question relevant to this country’s financial viability: How much is he prepared to pump into the insatiable maw of Anglo Irish Bank? It is outrageous that this vital question remains unanswered. James P Mackey’s article concerning the Eucharist was spellbinding, and it appears to me that he is suggesting that the thinking of the simple Masai woman is closer to what Jesus intended in the Eucharist than the thinking in the Vatican.

As if the quality of Mr O’Toole and Mr Mackey’s articles were not enough, Dara Mac Dónaill’s photograph of the kestrel with the rat (Front page) must surely be nature photograph of the year! – Yours, etc,
