A eagarthoir a chara, - It is to be feared that the elimination of VAT will not help our national Irish dailies much. They are at an inherent economic disadvantage to their English competitors, but, even more decisively, the progressive anglicisation of Ireland must lead to the Irish market being increasingly taken over by "Irish" editions of English newspapers. Assuming, of course, that papers of any kind can withstand the onslaught of television. Do chara,
