Recently, I have been doing a school project on the main political parties in Ireland.

Ann O’Loughlin’s article is timely in its portrayal of yet more inept Irish Governmental policies to raise tax revenue for the exchequer.

I READ with dismay the animosity being directed toward teachers lately. Perhaps if people do not want to pay teachers to teach, then they should pay for the babysitting service schools and teachers provide on a daily basis, 33 weeks of the year.
