Sir, - If ever a people can be accused of biting the hand that feeds it, it is now. I fear for the day when the Celtic Tiger roars no longer. Off we will go to Europe looking for help, only to find our allies and friends are thin on the ground.
Greed and blinkered nationalism have brought shame to the nation. - Yours, etc.,
Kieran O'Brien, St Alphonsus Road, Drumcondra, Dublin 9.
