Sir, – Is it just me or does everyone think that the presidential election campaign is already inclined to drag on a bit too much? – Yours, etc,
PHIL REILLY,
Drogheda, Co Louth.
Sir, – Could we have some sort of moratorium on coverage until the actual presidential election starts? – Yours, etc,
ALAN BRADY,
Dublin 8.
Sir, – According to Miriam Lord (September 20th), “It was a difficult beat for the three declared candidates who were in Laois for the first day of the championships”. No doubt their difficulty was compounded by the fact that the ploughing was on in Co Offaly! Another entertaining piece by Miriam but I don’t think any of the candidates will be asking her to plan their campaign itineraries! – Yours, etc,
BEN DUNDON,
Dublin 24.
Sir, – Wanderly Dragons? – Yours, etc,
MICHAEL COLLINS,
Ballyclough,
Limerick.
Sir, – President Michael D Higgins may be somewhat smaller in stature than the contenders, but in my opinion he is head and shoulders above any of the other contenders. – Yours, etc,
MAUREEN McKENNA,
Letterkenny, Co Donegal.
Sir, – Mattie Lennon asks (September 20th) if readers can think of anyone who has a more fresh approach than Michael D Higgins. Anyone who has been in any office for seven years cannot be considered “fresh”, whatever other attributes he might have! – Yours, etc,
MARGARET BUTLER,
Booterstown,
Co Dublin.
