The editorial comment that teaching is a “relatively well-paid job” (Irish Examiner, May 25) needs a little more analysis.

There appears much consternation in EU and US government circles at present in relation to corporate tax avoidance, but no sense of the irony of the situation.

When is all foreign aid going to be cut off completely by stupid Irish governments, who like to pretend we’re self-sacrificing and holier than the Pope?

I see that some holier than thou US politicians are saying that our government (and by extension, the citizens) is enabling companies such as Apple to avoid paying their fair share of tax.

Would you please advise or maybe remind your columnist Colette Browne that in the 2002 (25th Amendment) referendum that 49.58% of the people actually voted to exclude suicide as grounds for a termination.

There is grave concern among doctors across the specialities about the proposed legislation for termination of pregnancy in the case of threatened suicide on the part of the mother.

The next Catholic primate, Archbishop Eamon Martin, has controversially stated that TDs who support the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill are excommunicating themselves and should be denied communion.

You have hit the nail on the head with your conclusion (May 22) about the inevitability of nuclear power and the need to begin the construction process.

This thing with Apple only paying 2% on its income: could we try charging them at the rate for garlic?

I thought I had reached my incredulity threshold.
