THIS letter is in response to your recent article on elderly suicide.

SOMEONE should tell Bertie Ahern that Qatar has vast oil reserves which makes a big difference in financing public stadiums.

ON watching the distressing report of the abuse, mutilation and ultimate death of the horses in Cork I wonder how we can call ourselves human beings when we tolerate and never punish the thugs who commit these barbaric acts?

I WISH to respond to with concern to your editorial (Jan 28).

AS a survivor of a road traffic collision in which my husband was killed and a friend of ours also seriously injured, I am not just upset but astonished and disgusted by your callous comment in your recent editorial (Jan 28).

EAMON GILMORE has promised to implement the Croke Park agreement in full.

YOUR report on increase in suicide was not unexpected.

SOMEONE should tell Bertie Ahern that Qatar has vast oil reserves which makes a big difference in financing public stadiums.

I WOULD like to comment on the important front page article (January 28) that highlighted the increase in suicides among elderly people based on observations from coroners in Offaly and Kerry.
