Madam, – Why do we as Irish always feel the need to let ourselves down by putting ourselves down and indeed why is our media so willing to help?
A case in point is Brendan McMahon’s letter (February 15th).
I very much doubt Jedward are in anyway responsible for our country’s financial situation, or indeed will be involved in any renegotiations (if every held).
No, John and Edward are two lads who followed their dream and are now reaping the benefits. I can say I will not rush to buy any of their records or attend their concerts and do not care who wins the Eurovision. However, as a proud Irish citizen I would have a lot more confidence in the people with the mentality of Jedward than Mr McMahon for our country to move forward. Best of luck to them. – Yours, etc,
