Dear Editor,
It is with deep sadness that I acknowledge the passing of our dear Charlie. The metaphorical bird, as it were, has taken flight. May his soul rest in tranquillity. Yours sincerely, Laura O’Mara from Stillorgan, County Dublin.
In relation to the discussion on national identity, I find it conceivable to adopt Irishness in a way one could never assimilate to German or Japanese cultures.
Dear Editor,
I can’t think of many who have dedicated their services more effectively to all facets of Irish society, or left behind such an enduring legacy. Yours sincerely, Michael Gannon from Kilkenny.
