Ah! The ever entertaining Irish Times Letters Page ...
MURDER ON THE STREETS
"I would have thought that our bustling financial centre would be a safe haven from the criminals."
[perhaps the letter writer thought there is some sort of fellow professional criminal courtesy code?]
FF'S EUROPEAN PARTNERS
"This week it was confirmed that MEPs from the extreme right-wing "League of Polish Families" and "Northern League" (Italy) will join forces with Fianna Fáil in the European Parliament."
[insert obvious PD joke here]
REHOUSING THE OIREACHTAS
"Why cannot the Oireachtas be brought back to the building designed to house it? Perhaps if we ceased using our noblest public building [Bank of Ireland's College Green premises] as a temple to Mammon it would do something to restore national respect for the democratic process and the younger generation might even be tempted to get out and vote."
[there must be few purposes less salubrious than banking for the old House of Lords, but being the Dail debating chamber would certainly be one of them]
